Within four days, a serious disease attacked Emily Berg's liver, leaving her hours away from death. An emergency liver transplant was the only thing to save her. Emily and her doctors tell this remarkable story of how donor organs save lives.

I was so blessed to receive a liver not even a year ago and making the most of life i will be for ever grateful for the donor and their family

A friend of mine just had a liver transplant one week ago. She’s 63 years old and has liver cancer. The only way to save her life was to give her a new liver because the chance of the cancer coming back was almost 100%. She waited six months before she can go on the donor list and as of January 1 she officially went on that list. By January 12th she had a new liver❤

My Son got a liver transplant over a yr ago at theage of 43. He has fully recovered and is blessed to be able to return to his children and all his loved ones. He is able to help his children and we can see and witness a miracle. We pray for the loss of someone elses loved one and their family. God bless all the incredible Drs, Nurses and health care staff. You are Angels on earth ❤🙏

Wonderful!!!! I signed up to donate after seeing a harvest (at age 18). I never expected that I would need a liver transplant. I am so fortunate. Thank you for sharing. I wish we would all be automatically signed up. I’m so pleased that you made it ❤️

My story is very close to this.....I fell into coma for almost 2 months. I got sick so quick without warning that I only had a day or two. I got my life liver from a young man, which isnt as easy as people might think....I was 40 and 5' 7" and weighed 140(healthy) blood type A+....the donor has to be the same body size, same size organ, same blood type....so it's not as simple as I thought before my ordeal.
