Living Liver Donor Needed Urgently
My name is Kasondra Fehr (DOB: 04-12-1969), and I am in desperate need of a living liver donor who would donate a portion of their liver. I live in Houston, Texas. On December 9, 2023, I had my gallbladder removed and the surgeon saw my liver and took a biopsy. The surgeon got back to me regarding the biopsy results, and he told me that I had End Stage Liver Disease/Cirrhosis. My health has declined rapidly ever since, and I am praying that someone will come forward to help save my life. To date I have had 43 paracentesis procedures with a total of 135 liters of bad fluid drained.
I am blood type O+ but can receive a liver from someone with blood type O- as well. While you may have O-Blood, a quick blood test is all that is needed to ensure that our tissue matches too.
The requirements to be a donor include being between the ages 21 - 56, having a BMI of 18 - 32, having no history of inflammatory bowel disease and must be OK with accepting blood products. Although my medical insurance will cover the fees for the donation transplant, it is important for you to have medical insurance too.
For more information on how you can apply to be a living liver donor for me and ask any questions is below. Maybe you are not able to help me but if you could spread my story with others (people you know, people at church, or people that you interact with) I would be extremely appreciative.
The funds I raise go directly paying for medical bills.
My Liver Doctor is Dr. Victor Ankoma-Sey at the Houston Methodist Transplant Center

Update - April 12, 1969
April 14th, 2025
Well today was my 56th birthday and I honestly did not think that I would make it this far. My liver doctor has recently advised that will pass between now and the end of the year but that my only saving hope right now is a Living Liver Donor. I have two potential candidates but Houston has rejected them based on their criteria. So I am in the final stages of being approved at UT Southwestern in Dallas, TX, where the age restriction is 60 years old. Houston is only 56 years old as there Living Liver Donation Transplant Program is still in it's infancy. Thus, the higher restrictions.
So now I need to prepare for the travel and expenses for a transplant in Dallas. Further, my medical bills are still growing and I just received a new bill for a Heart Scan in the amount of $7,187.00. Ouch!
I keep falling down (liver disease will do that to a person). This weekend I fell and hit my head (Goose Egg), fractured my left ribs, and broke my right pinky finger.
Any donation is appreciated and will help me make it through this.
