Liver Transplant for Bruce

After 2 years of significant illnes, my brother Bruce was diagnosed in 2017 with Stage 4 Non-Alcoholic Cirrhosis of the Liver and is in need of a liver transplant to survive. Unfortunately, Cirrhosis is considered a "drinking" disease when, in fact, my brother has never been a drinker. He is a sole support father of an 11 year old daughter who is his world.  Bruce wants to survive to see his daughter grow up and there are many challenges ahead.

The expenses related to a transplant far exceeds what OHIP covers, such as: weekly travel to various cities for testing/specialists' appointments  in numerous hospitals which does not cover parking, meals or overnight stays in hotels.  Bruce has been unable to work since 2015 due to the complications of this disease and his income is 60% of his previous income causing further financial hardship.

We often hear about the importance of organ donation. We seldom hear about the costs associated for the recipient awaiting the transplant. 

Please donate whatever you can to help make sure that  Bruce is able to see his daughter grow up.
