This website is to help Dilyn. Who is Dilyn? Why does he need help? Please take a minute to read and you will find out.
Dilyn is an 8 year old boy that lives in Shepherdsville Kentucky. At age 3 he was diagnosed with Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency. This deficiency has caused cirrhosis of the liver which has now put him at the end stages of liver failure. As we all know you can not live with out a liver. He was placed on the transplant list in July 2011 as a 2. In November of 2011 after another evaluation he has went up to a 29. Dilyn is CONSTANTLY in and out of the children's hospital due to the complications of the deficiency. One of the most serious complications is very thin blood, he has to have infusions and take vitamin K often to try to thicken his blood. We are praying for a live organ donor soon. I hate when the doctors put a time limit on a precious life, but they did and are saying without a liver transplant he may not live another 6 months.
When I heard Dilyn's story and met the little guy there was no way I could just sit back and watch. I hope by now you feel compelled as much as I was and you will help us in the fight to save his life. There are many ways you can help. You can be tested to see if you are a candidate to be a live liver donor. (See tab above for more information.) You can donate just a dollar (see above to learn how), prayers are always welcome, and you can also pass this along to everyone you know and hopefully they will donate and pass it along. After insurance there will be an estimated 50,000 out of pocket expense. He will have to be on some anti rejection medication (the price are ridiculously high), trips back and forth to Chicago IL, and other transplant related expenses. I beg of you to help this little guy out.. if it is prayer, a 1.00, or just simply passing this along, PLEASE do something and after you do please check back for updates!!
Thank you so very much!
