In a dire plea for survival, the parents of a two-year-old girl from San Diego are urgently seeking a liver transplant for their daughter, who has been battling Alagille syndrome, a rare genetic disorder. Despite being labeled a “miracle baby” for defying doctors’ initial expectations of having only months to live, the child now faces worsening health due to liver failure. The family has endured countless hospital visits between San Diego and Los Angeles, as potential donors have slipped through their grasp when complications arose. The little girl‘s mother, also affected by the same genetic disorder, expresses the pressing need for a living donor, a lifeline to potentially save her daughter’s life.

Unyielding in their determination, Justice’s family has launched a dedicated website aiming to streamline the donor application process and inform potential donors about the necessary requirements. This digital initiative not only facilitates a path for prospective donors to step forward but also plays a crucial role in fundraising. The funds raised will primarily serve to cover any travel expenses that might be incurred by Justice’s future donor, ensuring that geographical barriers do not impede the life-saving potential that a willing donor can provide.

Justice’s story is a poignant reminder of the critical importance of community support and awareness in the realm of organ donation. As they await the miracle of a compatible match, Justice’s family remains hopeful that their advocacy will resonate with those who have the ability to help. While the medical hurdles are many, the family’s fervent hope is that their efforts, combined with the generosity of a stranger, will grant their little girl the vibrant life she so rightly deserves. As they confront each day with unwavering faith, their call for a donor underscores a message of resilience and solidarity in the face of an uncertain future.
