Thank you so much for joining us here in support of Julia: a wife, mother, grandmother, and dear friend to many people who know and love her. 

Julia urgently needs a liver transplant.

Because time is running out, and getting a liver from a deceased donor can take up to years, doctors are urging us to find a person with a blood group compatible to Julia's and willing to be a LIVE DONOR.

Transplants from living donors are possible because the liver has the ability to regenerate. When a portion of the donor's liver is removed, regeneration of the remaining part of the liver happens within a matter of weeks. 

UCSF has two of the top surgeons in the world for liver transplants. We could not be at a better facility for this procedure. 

All of the donor's medical expenses are covered by Julia's insurance.

Click HERE to watch a short movie about being a live liver donor. 

And most importantly, click HERE to fill out the health evaluation form and to submit yourself as a potential candidate! To do so, you will need Julia's date of birth: 11/07/1957 and her full name: Julia Lazar. This is something you can back out of any time, there is no obligation. Please consider signing up!

Julia has so much to live for. Your help could give her LIFE. 

Thank you!

    I have O+ blood type, not sure if I would be a match. I don't know though if I could afford to be out of work postop

    I shared on my Inspirations Page and also on Twitter! I too went through this in 2009, and understand what it's all about! Best Wishes for a Living Donor or a Liver!
