<div>Phil Shapiro, who works at Takoma Park Maryland Library, is in need of a liver transplant - UPDATE! Phil received his transplant on April 28th! This GoFundMe has been set up to help cover both anticipated and unanticipated expenses. Phil is immensely grateful that MedStar Georgetown University Hospital (<a href="https://www.medstarhealth.org/services/medstar-georgetown-transplant-institute)" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://www.medstarhealth.org/services/medstar-georgetown-transplant-institute" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.medstarhealth.org/services/medstar-georgetown-transplant-institute</a>)</a> is strongly experienced at doing liver transplants and the hospital has accepted him as a patient. Medical care of this kind can come with many costs and this GoFundMe will assist Phil in absorbing those costs.
