Michael Holst Needs a Living Liver Donor
from Ottawa News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Thirty-four-year-old carpenter Michael Holst from Westboro is racing against time to find a living liver donor—he’s been battling autoimmune liver disease since 2011 and doctors say he has as little as two years left without a transplant. Once a community hero who helped seniors and volunteered locally, he now relies on family for daily tasks as his liver deteriorates, causing confusion and forcing him to quit work. His story is urgent: Toronto General Hospital needs healthy donors aged 16–60 with specific blood types, and even if someone backs out, sharing his story could save his life. The liver regenerates, and support is available for donor expenses. Holst still dreams of gardening, traveling, and starting a family—his hope is just one donor away.
