Liver transplant needed for Jim Johnson

Donation protected
As many of you know, my liver is shot due to chemo while fighting two different types of cancer along with a fatty diet.  I have insurance that will cover 90% of the costs of a liver transplant.   If you are able to help financially, that would be greatly appreciated. Right now I am looking friends or family that might be interested in a partial liver donation (someone with a healthy liver will have it grow back in 2-3 months).  The funds will be used to cover some of the medical costs that are not covered by my insurance.  As an example, following any transplant, I will need to stay within 1 hour of Vanderbilt (where I would get the transplant done) for 2-3 months.  This will require an apartment or extended stay hotel for up to 3 months. Any funds raised will only go toward medical expenses and I expect transplant with a "Live Donation" within 3 months, but if not able to find anyone interested in donation of part of their liver, I will have to wait until someone  in the southeast dies that meets my medical info, blood type, etc.  Also I will be prioritized per my diagnosis.  Obviously if someone needs it right away to remain alive, they would be prioritized before me.  I have been told the average wait time on the transplant list is 3-5 years.
