Eden was born with biliary atresia and put on the transplant waiting list for a liver at 5 months old. After a month, Eden's family reached out online for a living donor and her cousin, Nadia, volunteered to be tested. She was a match, and in January of this year, they both underwent a successful transplant. "Eden is now very healthy and happy, enjoying her life post-transplant! She once was unable to eat on her own, sit up, or even leave her hospital room due to the complications of the liver disease. Now, she is meeting all of her milestones, loves trying all kinds of food, and is physically strong and active. Nadia has recovered quickly and is back to caring for her own family, working, and now advocating for living organ donation!"![]()
Eden's family feels they can never thank Nadia enough for her many sacrifices to give Eden the chance to live and thrive. Every day they have with Eden is treated as a gift, and they never take that for granted. 💙💚 #DonateLife Learn more about living donation and register your decision to be an organ, eye and tissue donor at DonateLifeLA.org
