LIVING Liver DONOR NEEDED

“The wound is the place where the Light enters you. “ -RUMI moon

My name is Jesse, I am a 33 year old father of my beautiful 5 year old boy Geoffrey. I was diagnosed with End Stage Liver Disease in October 2020. Needless to say this was a huge wake up call in deciding to change my habits and life for the better. I want to be around to watch my son grow. Cooking was my main career for 15 years and is a passion of mine, using my skills and talents to seek a variety of new experiences throughout my life. Along with being a passionate father and chef, I am a talented musician and artist. You can find many of my paintings and artwork throughout the homes of my loved ones from Connecticut to Arizona.

Since finding out about this diagnosis, my life has changed completely, in ways both for the good and for the bad. Positively, I have a fresh new outlook and zeal for living a life previously taken for granted. I have taken a look at myself with clear eyes, and I am ready to take my power back and build a beautiful life. Adversely, I have not been working as much and have lost the strength to do a lot of fairly simple tasks at home. Yet, every day is another chance to work a little hard and push forward. With change in philosophy and lifestyle, I have been able to get well enough to be a candidate for a living donor. As good as this is- I am still sick and need a transplant to recover that way I can assure my son I will be here with him for the foreseeable future.

It would mean the world to me, I would be able to move forward, be more involved with my family and help others.

With all this being said, I am genuinely grateful and hopeful for the future. I am optimistic that there is a match out there- it’s only a matter of when. That’s why your help is crucial. With your help to spread my story and get the word out I believe we can find a match. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
