Josh Harrold, who in 2017 donated his kidney to his longtime friend from Santa Cruz, plans to give a baby girl part of his liver. Here's his story.
His time at the NICU is when he vowed to help. He added his name to the Children's Hospital Los Angeles' donor program, and recently got the call.
He does not know who this child in need is. She is a stranger, only described as a baby girl less than 12 months old. He plans to give her part of his liver on Friday. He will be giving roughly 25% of the organ -- which should regenerate in roughly six weeks. In 2017, his good friend Kelly Van Den Berghe, who lives in Santa Cruz, needed a kidney. She has polycystic kidney disease, which is genetic and often means a life with dialysis if not for a living donor.
"I was like, 'Erica, did you happen to see Kelly's post?' And Erica looked at me and was like, 'You want to do it don't you?'" he said.Harrold surpriesed Van Den Berghe, a huge SF Giants fan, with the news during a private tour of then ATHarrold's infectious light came from a pretty dark place. Nine years ago, his wife Erica learned she had a brain tumor, and quickly ran out of options.
