About Andrea
- Hi, I’m Andrea, and this is the most vulnerable video l’ve ever made.
I’m in urgent need of a living liver donor from someone with O Blood Type, due to end stage autoimmune liver disease causing stage 4 liver cirrhosis and failure (not alcohol or drug induced), since I was 15 years old, the last 23 years. I had a major shift in my health June of 2024 needing a life saving surgery to buy me a few more years to live. I also have struggled with numerous other autoimmune conditions.
To see if your a match and to apply, please click the link in my bio, it’s the first blue hyperlink in the post on Facebook with more details and information. 🙏🏼
I’ve spent so much of my life giving to others as a mother, a friend, a facilitator, and a medicine woman. Now, I’m asking for help in the deepest way l’ve ever had to.
A living liver donation is a miracle of modern medicine: the liver can regenerate in both the donor and recipient, usually within weeks. I know this is a massive ask, but even if you’re not a match or can’t donate, you can help by sharing this video. The right person might see it because of you.
If you feel a pull or stirring in your heart to explore being a potential donor or if you just want to know more, please reach out and apply at the link below. I’m happy to connect you with my transplant team directly. You don’t even have to let me know it’s you that’s donating as you can choose to be anonymous as well.
Thank the Lord that my insurance has APPROVED to FULLY cover the transplant, your evaluation as well as your surgery.
This is an incredible relief to be able to move forward without the worry of the donor being responsible for the process and surgery. Praise God!
With all my heart, thank you for witnessing this. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for being part of this prayer for life.
Please share this far and wide and or hold this vision of miracle in your heart.❤️✝️😇🙏🏼
- I am O blood type. How do I get tested to see if I am a match?
- For reference, There is A LOT that goes into all this.
1. Get your blood tested - if you are an O blood type (O positive or negative), that’s the first step.
Other requirements are:
•Age: Typically between 18 and 60 years old.
•Health: Good physical and mental health, with no significant medical conditions like liver disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, active cancer, or certain infections.
•Blood Type: Compatible with the recipient. (O positive or negative)
•Liver Health: A healthy liver with a suitable anatomy/size for donation, determined through imaging and other tests.
•Understanding: The donor must understand the risks, benefits, and commitment involved in the donation process.
•Motivation: Donation should be altruistic, with no financial gain or coercion involved.
•BMI: A BMI below 32 is often required.
•Lifestyle: Many centers require donors to be non-smokers and abstain from alcohol for a period before and after surgery.
2. If you fit the rest of the requirements to be a potential healthy match, there is a link you can go to and apply to be a donor for me.
3. You will have to go through an entire evaluation yourself to see if you are healthy enough and are a fit for my size and anatomy. This will be paid for via my health insurance- no cost to you.
4. If you end up being a match and want to move forward, the following are the basics you need to consider accepting and going through yourself.
