“I learned about the decision when I saw a message from her on Facebook saying she was about to do something super scary and that I should watch for her next video. In the video, she announced that she has a chronic illness and needs a liver transplant. She made the decision to go public in order to raise awareness about organ donation and transplantation. Her family is supportive of her decision, but her kids are scared about what it could mean for her if the transplant doesn't take. She is hopeful that by sharing her story, she can help others in a similar situation.” - Kassy
