Fundraiser for Salim’s Liver Transplant

This fundraiser is for my brother Salim, who has Stage 4 Liver Cirrhosis – a fatal condition where without a transplant, he will die.

Cirrhosis can be quite exhausting, especially when compounded by diabetes. Several stays in the hospital the last few months (most recently due to sepsis) has taken it’s toll on his body.

This fundraiser is to help cover several things. One, Salim has had to take a considerable amount of time off from work (which itself can be financially stressful for anyone)

But we are optimistic that he will receive a liver transplant from a living donor. And when this happens, he’ll need several weeks of rest & recovery.

I want to make sure that the last thing he has to worry about are his finances. This kind of medical condition can be taxing both physically & mentally & I want him to focus on his primary job of staying alive.

Funds will go to living expenses and any bills he & the family may incur while in hospital. Even with universal healthcare, serious illness can be financially challenging to navigate.

With that in mind, we also would like to create a tiny fund for anyone who does decide to donate a portion of their liver, as they will require several weeks to recover as well & if the donor knows that we can take care of them as well, it might encourage them to step forward to become a donor.

I’ve been taught that it is a strength to ask for help, Family & community is about lifting each other up when one of us is in danger of falling.

So this is opportunity – to lift someone up, to save his life & become stronger in doing so.
