In my case, the donor would need to be 18-60 yrs old with a blood type of B or O.
If you or friends of yours you can contact the Cleveland Cinic liver transplant center at 216-444-1976 or you can give me a call. 216-233-3447.

I have been placed on medical disability and neither myself or my wife can work due to Medicaid.
This fundraiser is to: 1. Raise the awareness of the living donor program. 2. Any money raised will go towards non-covered expenses. When I have the transplant me wife will need to stay at a hotel in the Cleveland Cinic property. She will need to be there 7-10 days. There is also the cost of gas for the hour long trip from Vermilion to Cleveland. And when I go home I will need to be at the Clinic two to three days a week.

Natalie and I would truly appreciate any monitory donations you can give.
