'The waiting game is the hardest part': Brother pleading for living liver donor

Did you know you can safely donate the majority of your liver and it will fully regenerate within a couple of months?

Did you know 53 people died in Ontario alone in 2018 while waiting for a liver transplant? Did you know you don’t have to be related to donate a liver or kidney and you don’t even have to match a blood type?

Perry Zimel is trying to raise awareness about the living donor program, in the hopes of finding a match for his sister Mona, who has a potentially fatal autoimmune disease. She is growing weaker and more tired and her rare AB blood type makes her a poor candidate for a deceased donor organ.
