Need money for organ transplant

Donation protected
I am am a nurse practitioner working with  children  for the last 30 years .  I worked  at a School Based  Health Center  at Danbury High School for 18 years  and   now currently work  at  Newtown Middle School.  I suffered a severe liver laceration last year.  I was in the hospital for 12 days and received 5 blood transfusions.  I now have a failing liver and need a liver transplant ASAP.  I am on the transplant list at Yale Hospital.  My loving husband is my life line -  doing all the shopping, cleaning and running of errands, working and providing income and health insurance which is stressful to both of us and makes me feel badly.  He has worked at Crosby High School in  Waterbury, CT  for the last 10+ years teaching  Mathematics.     

I am out on disability due to extreme fatigue, weakness, nausea and vomiting, tremors and palpitations.  Any donation would offset my loss of income but would also be used to compensate a living donor's expenses (if necessary) during their loss of work/wages during a 6 week recovery time.  I need a living donor blood type B or O whose liver would grow back in 6 weeks.  Any individual interested in being a living donor may call Yale New Haven Hospital at [phone redacted].  My health insurance would cover the donor's medical expenses.  I would not ask for financial help but I have 4 beautiful children who would suffer if their mom passed early.  Thank you for your consideration.
