Last month the media reported on the plight of Lidia Sorbara, a Toronto area woman in need of a liver transplant.  Thanks to a public campaign spearheaded by the group Step By Step, a matching donor was found for her within a week.

But there are others still in Lidia’s position.  Another Toronto woman now needs a new liver.  Her name is Rosanna Anderson, and she is the mother of three children.  Unfortunately her immediate family members were tested and proved to be incompatible as potential donors.  However someone in the wider community might yet qualify to donate part of a liver to Rosanna.  If you are interested in helping Ms. Anderson, are between the ages of 18 and 60, have type ‘O’ blood, and are in good health, please contact Cailin MacLeod, Toronto General Hospital 416-340-4800 ext. 7594. at the Living Donor Liver Transplant Program. You may also contact Canadian Blood Services at 1-888-2 DONATE (1-888-236-6283) or go to www.onematch.ca for more information.  Remember: Rosanna could be your mother, sister or daughter one day.
