Aaron Dougherty is a devoted husband and father who is fighting advanced liver disease and needs a living liver donor. Many people don’t know that living liver donation is possible. The liver can regenerate, and donors can return to full, healthy lives after recovery.
Aaron’s wife, Agatha is his Living Donor Champion who is speaking on his behalf, because he is too humble to ask for help himself. They have a young daughter who is 15 months old now and absolutely adores her daddy. They hope that he can get the chance to watch her grow.
If you feel moved to learn more and to register as a possible donor, the confidential donor link is:
livingdonorreg.upmc.com/Pittsburgh and the RECIPIENT is Aaron Dougherty.
The transplant program covers all of the donor’s medical costs, and the evaluation is confidential. Filling out the form does not commit you to anything — it simply provides information. Even if you are unable to be a living donor, just sharing this message helps more than you know. Hope grows when people pass it forward.
