We are embarking on a heartfelt mission to gather funds that will uplift and support Mitchel during his crucial journey toward a liver transplant.

Mitchel was born with underdeveloped bile ducts (biliary atresia). He had a procedure done at 3 weeks old called a Kasai to prolong his need for a transplant. It was effective and has been hospitalized four times for colongitis. In his most recent hospitalization, this last month they determined that the bile ducts are not working effectively enough and therefore he needs to be place on the transplant list.
He has endured countless hospital stays for weeks at a time and procedures to attempt to reduce pain and improve function of the liver.
Now, Mitch is on the waiting list for the liver that will give him the chance to lead a healthier life. While it’s unclear how long he’ll be waiting for a liver (between weeks and months) his doctors are doing their best to manage his pain and symptoms during this time. Right now, he is struggling to complete basic living actitives to take care of himself.
Unfortunately, Mitch can’t work right now, which has hit him hard since photography is his passion. Losing that source of income has been tough for him.
Once a liver becomes available, Mitch will need to stay near the clinic for six weeks, but he currently lives about 2.5 hours away. This means he’ll have to find a fully furnished rental within an hour of the clinic for that duration, and the costs are definitely adding up.
Any assistance you can provide would mean the world to Mitchel and everyone who supports him. We all cherish this vibrant and joyful person and are holding onto hope that he receives his new liver soon so he can get back to enjoying life without pain.
Mitchel has always been a really hard worker and has been pursuing his dream to continue his photography business
