Susan Anderson - Living Liver Donor

Susan Anderson is a living liver donor. She donated to a friend, Brandon, after his wife sent an email talking about his need for a living liver donation to save his life. On April 29, 2023, Susan will throw the first pitch at the Blue Jays game to raise awareness about organ donation.

My big hats off to you Susan. You are just an amazing and incredible and beautiful human being. Not many people can do this selfless act that you have done. Your sacrifice has touched my heart. You made me believe that there are still a lot of generous and kind and good people around in this world. Brandon is soo lucky to have a friend like you. May God bless you and Brandon to have good health and long life. ❤😊

This is so beautiful story… Brandon reached out to me back when we were both going through things with this disease in I think 2016-17 and I am embarking on looking for a donor match as well so I love to be able to share this to educate so many thank you for what you have done for your friend and your twos story
