You can make a difference

Shari's situation vividly illustrates the urgent need for people to say 'yes' to organ donation. Here are some key statistics from UNOS:

• More than 17,000 people in the U.S. currently are in need of a liver transplant
• Organ donation saves lives - about 6,100 people received the Gift of Life through a liver transplant last year
• Almost 90,000 people in the United States are waiting for a life-saving organ transplant
• One organ donor can save up to seven lives - and with tissue donation, up to 50 lives can be enhanced by transplantation

As a reminder, Shari needs a complete liver transplant. If you can provide immediate assistance in locating a potential donor, please contact us at (877) 223-3386 or email: liverforalife@yahoo.com.

Dear Robby,

It has been years. . . KZT at Buffalo State. I just wanted to let you know that I can't stop thinking and HOPING for a donor for Shari. I wish you strength.

Truly,
Shari Cohen

I have read of your need. My prayers go out to all of you and your family. Last year at this time, my brother was at NYU Medical Center awaiting a liver transplant -- he was blessed with one last September. He also was extremely critical and needed a full donor liver. Thoughts and prayers go out to the family at this time.

My family and I will be praying for Shari too. God bless you all and our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Good Luck! I will keep my eyes open for someone who might be interested

I am keeping her in my thoughts and prayers. I have a kidney transplant. I know the urgent need for the liver is much greater and I pray she gets it.

I don't know Shari personally, but I recognize her from around the Cornell campus. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Shari, your parents, and your fiance during this heartbreaking time. I have passed on information about your situation, hoping that someone can help.
