Organ donation is a noble way to ensure you contribute to society even after death. Many lives have been saved thanks to the generosity of organ donors.

But, organ donation can be done even while one is alive and there are still others who need saving.

A 15-year-old Malaysian boy with end-stage liver failure is currently in desperate need of a liver donor and has been doing what he can to spread the word, including by handing out flyers in Singapore. The ‘Give him a hug‘ Facebook page, ran by the boy’s mother, shared details into this.

They wrote, “There is a road, and walking on it is difficult to advance or retreat, and it is difficult to move forward. We cannot retreat but we don’t have a direction. Those who know, know that we’ve begged many people, we’ve visited many departments and made requests to many organisations.”

“We’re not afraid of waiting, but we’re afraid that time waits for no one in the end. Now, whenever our phone rings, he will come over to us immediately. We know he is waiting for hope. But, the moment we hang up the phone, his disappointment tells us that he really wants a chance to live. If you get this flyer today, don’t throw it away. Help us pass it around to others. There may be a glimmer of hope for him. Thank you!”

 

It is important to note that living liver donors will only have a portion of their liver removed and given to the recipient. The donor’s remaining liver will regrow to it’s normal size within a couple of months after the surgery and the portion of liver given to the recipient will also grow and restore the recipient’s normal liver function.

The boy requires a liver donor that is: 

  • Male or female
  • Aged 21-years-old to 50-years-old
  • Healthy and fit
  • Has no history of medical problems
  • With the blood type O+

The operation will be done at the National University Hospital (NUH) in Singapore, where organ trading or selling is strictly not allowed.

If you are a suitable organ donor and are willing to help the boy, you can reach out to his mother via WhatsApp at 9357 6128, or via the ‘Give him a hug‘ Facebook page.

We genuinely hope that the boy finds a donor soon!
