Help baby Salma get a new liver from her Mama
Baby Salma was born prematurely on August 10th, 2023.
She weighed 1.89 KG and had to spend 11 days in the NICU. It quickly turned out her liver functions were not normal. Unfortunately, she's had a cholestatic liver since she was born. During the past 10 months, we have visited 4 pediatricians, 5 hepatologists/gastro, 1 cardiologist, 1 ophthalmologist trying to diagnose and treat her condition. Many blood tests, echos and a biopsy later, no diagnosis has been made, but all professionals agree she needs a liver transplant to avoid a liver failure. luckily, I (her mom) can donate a liver!
The surgery is a huge (for both of us); we're grateful we have the chance to give her a new liver to begin with.
The surgery will be done in Abu Ali Sina Hospital for Liver and Kidney transplant, one of the largest transplant centers in the world.
There will be two surgeries, for me, and for her. Our stay will be a long one (2+ months) as we both have to be monitored and observed during the recovery period.
We're aiming for 60,000 USD which should hopefully cover all hospital bills and stay.
Salma is a happy and social baby, and we love her so much.
Help us give her the chance to grow healthy and strong!
