This is her story:

At nine weeks old, I was diagnosed with Biliary Atresia. Doctors informed my family I was in dire need a liver transplant, or I would die. Fortunately at fifteen months, I was given a second chance to live.

Today I am twenty five years old and thankful for every breath; however, my body is in a state of chronic rejection. My immune system is destroying my liver. Life’s roller coaster will come to an abrupt end for me, if I don’t receive another liver transplant.

How can you help?

Donate money towards Amanda’s extensive medical costs as she fights for her life.
