One of our WGSD Families needs help for their little boy. Please read and share. 💚
💚 WE ARE OFFICIALLY SHARING WESTEN’S LIVING LIVER DONOR CRITERIA. 💚
This is a post I never imagined I would have to make, but we are officially at the point in Westen’s transplant journey where we can share exactly what his transplant team is looking for in a potential living liver donor.
We know this is a BIG ask, but we also know that somewhere out there may be someone who is willing to take a chance, get tested, and potentially give our little boy the greatest gift imaginable — a chance at a healthy life.
🫶🏼 LIVING LIVER DONOR CRITERIA:
• Age: 18–59 years old
• Weight: 121 lbs or less (55 kg)
• Blood Type: A or O
• BMI: Less than 25
• Location: Wisconsin residents only
If you meet these basic criteria and have ever thought about becoming a living donor for Westen, please consider filling out the confidential donor evaluation form. The transplant team will determine whether you are medically eligible — you do NOT need to know for certain if you can donate before submitting the form.

The form is confidential and goes directly through Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin. (Froedtert)
In other news…
We have some amazing news to share —
Westen’s exception for his PELD score was officially APPROVED! 🙏🏼💚
His PELD score is now 31 by exception, which is a huge step forward in his deceased transplant listing.
Please share this post. You never know who might see it, who might know someone in Wisconsin, or whose heart might be called to help our little boy. 💚
One person. One decision. One incredible gift.
Keep fighting, Westen. Your army isn’t giving up. 💚💛💜
