A Family Man in CT Needs Help

Do you know the liver can regenerate itself in 8 weeks? Its amazing.

Hi my name is David Ray. I'm a loving husband and father of two boys Jamie 11 and Noah 9 1/2. I have recently been put on the U.N.O.S (United Network of Organ Sharing) liver transplant list. The doctors said that my best chance for a healthy future is to find a living donor. We have been actively looking now and have been sharing this website https://www.davidssearchforhope.com/

on Facebook and we have hung up some flyers in local places and we are really trying to get the word out. Connecticut currently has a shortage of liver donors and of those who are on the list 1 out of 5 will die before they receive a liver transplant so we are hoping that we can not only find a donor for David but with his story bring awareness about the need for living donors in Connecticut he also has a go fund me page https://www.gofundme.com/Davidssearchforhope?pc=sms_db_co2876_v1&rcid=bf82047b54694455a1637be16be05186

to raise money to help cover the donors medical expenses and our medical expenses and the money for missing pay during the eight weeks of recovery time.
