Liver Donor Needed!
I need a living donor and I need YOUR HELP locating that amazing human being.
My name is Tim McDonald. I have stage IV colon cancer with metastasis to my liver and in December of 2020 was told I had 3 years to live. That was their story, not mine. I have a REAL shot at being cured of my cancer, but I can't do it alone! PLEASE SHARE THIS SITE. Please understand, there is no waiting list. I have ONE SHOT to find the kind of human being with the courage, kindness, and compatibility needed. The more people this site reaches, the better my odds are of having that person reach out to my doctors confidentially. CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE
