A young woman in New York is in desperate need of a full liver transplant
if she is to live until her wedding on October 15–her liver shut down
July 20. Fortunately, she has good friends in the PR industry who are
making a concerted effort on her behalf in New York and the national
news media. The full story of Shari Kurzok, and the requirements for a
liver are here.
The
entire campaign so far is to find a liver from someone who recently
died. The family of that person would have to make an act of supreme
charity despite their grief. For all of the support Shari Kurzok and
her family have received, there is little anyone can do because there
is no market for organs (PDF). Imagine if people could learn about a case like this, and contribute to a fund to purchase a liver. Until then, we can only make her story known and pray for Shari and all those like her who need organs.
