A Fyzabad mother is pleading for public support to fund a necessary, life-saving liver transplant for her son.

The young man was diagnosed with a rare liver disease when he was 16 years old, and despite undergoing treatment for a few years, doctors recently told the family the only option for survival now, is a transplant.

When our reporter Cindy Raghubar-Teekersingh visited the woman and her son at their Avocat Village home on Wednesday, she was told the surgery cannot be done locally and they have around 30 days to raise about $500,000.
