Zechariah's Liver Transplant Fund

My name is Brian Acosta, I live in San Lorenzo, CA.  I am setting up this fund to help raise money for my nephew Zechariah "Zeke" Acosta.  Zeke is a very beautiful boy who just turned 4 months on November 2016.  When Zeke went in for his 3 month check-up, he was diagnosed with a rare disease known all "BILLIARY ARTESIA".  This is a rare disease of the liver and bile ducts that occurs in infants. Symptoms of the disease appear or develop about two to eight weeks after birth. Cells within the liver produce liquid called bile. Bile helps to digest fat.  This is a LIFE THREATENING CONDITION in infants in which the bile ducts inside or outside the liver do not have normal openings. 

There are two procedures that need to be done, the first one has already been performed, where the the system is "bypassed" for the body to function somewhat properly.  However, a second procedure is necessary, which is a LIVER TRANSPLANT.  The liver transplant operation costs around $90,000 - $100,000 (4.5 - 5 Million Philippine Pesos).

At this point, the mother (Naomi) is currently gaining strength to ensure that she is healthy enough to be the donor for the necessary liver transplant.  The surgery needs to be performed as soon as possible to prevent further damage to the body.

This means so much as this is a gift of hope, a gift of life.

Our family will never be able to thank everyone for the financial help as well as the prayers that we will be receiving for baby Zeke.
