MICHAEL TAYLORS HERO: Help Find A Liver Donor:Save His Life

Hello everyone,

My name is Sandra Taylor, and I am reaching out to share a deeply personal and urgent story about my beloved husband, Michael. Michael is not just my husband; he is my hero, my rock, and a fighter who never gives up. Currently, Michael is on the liver transplant list at UCSF, and we are urgently searching for a live donor who can save his life by offering a part of their liver.

The use of donations is completely to offset marketing costs, so that donors will come forward for so many others who may die without a live donors help. Help us to help others...

Michael’s Journey

Michael’s life has been a journey of resilience and courage. Growing up with six siblings and a single mother on welfare, Michael faced significant challenges from a young age. At 17, he joined the army, serving two terms with dedication and bravery. However, during his service, Michael received multiple injections using an injection gun that was later found to transmit Hepatitis C to thousands of soldiers. Michael was one of them. This led to severe liver damage and eventually cirrhosis.

Despite these hardships, Michael rose through the ranks to become a sergeant in the Army and later a master union electrician. He continues to fight every day to be the best version of himself. Michael's love for God, his country, his friends, his family, and me is unwavering. He is cherished by many for his genuine care and compassion, and his presence makes the world a better place.

The Urgency for a Liver Transplant

A liver transplant is Michael's only hope for survival. Unlike other organs, the liver has the unique ability to regenerate. This means a living donor can donate a part of their liver, and both the donor’s and recipient’s livers will grow back to full size within weeks—a true miracle.

We are urgently seeking a kind-hearted hero who might be a match for Michael. The process is safe, and donors live healthy, normal lives after the procedure. Even if you aren’t an exact match, your donation can still enable Michael to receive a liver through a reciprocal trade. Potential donors need to be in good health, typically between the ages of 18 and 65, and have a compatible blood type. If you think you might be a match or if you want to learn more about the process, please contact us through the information provided on this page.

How You Can Help

We know this is a monumental request, and we are incredibly grateful for your consideration. Your willingness to help could mean the world to us and give Michael a second chance at life. While we cannot offer financial compensation for your incredible gift, there are grants available that provide up to $18,000 to help cover your downtime. All medical bills will be covered by our insurance.

Even if you cannot donate, you can still support us by sharing this story and spreading the word. The more people who see this, the higher our chances of finding a match for Michael.

Fundraising Goal

To increase our chances of finding a donor, we need to raise $5000. These funds will be used to launch a comprehensive marketing campaign to spread awareness about the urgent need for live liver donors, not only for Michael but for others in need as well. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to our goal.
