By: Chi Beta Omega Vicki Lambert, a living liver donor, shared her story on how she was able to save her mother, Pearl’s, life by donating a portion of her liver. While, it was a risky procedure, Vicki did not hesitate at the chance to save her mother’s life. Vicki’s health is normal, and she was able to give birth to a healthy baby girl, Joy, who is now 4 years old. Pearl’s health improved dramatically after her liver transplant nearly 10 years ago. Unfortunately, Pearl’s kidneys have failed due to the negative effects of many of the anti-rejection medications she has to take for her liver transplant. As a result, she is currently on the kidney transplant waiting list and remains optimistic that a match will be found soon.
