My mother (Maria Del Socorro Vargas) was diagnosed with cirrhosis; she has been getting a treatment for her bad liver since November of last year.

She was going once a week to the Hospital to get her shots. You can imagine 5 months on a weekly basis, waiting for the shot, every week.

But she is a fighter, she believes in hope and cures and god. Unfortunately the liver was not getting good responses to the treatment she was getting.

Her stomach would swell; she would have excruciating stomach and body pains, so she was put on a very specific diet. So that was going on for a few months...

About two weeks ago she was feeling really sick, she stated vomiting blood, and was becoming really weak. We rushed her to the hospital (LA USC)

When she got there, they began doing more tests. To find out what and what was she vomiting blood. Her liver was once again failing, and if I may just say"

My mother never drinks any alcohol, has never done drugs in her life. So they don’t know why her liver was failing. After a week there, I received a very

Scary phone call from the doctors and my sisters that she was losing a lot of blood was vomiting and discharging too much blood. My mother was sent to ICU (Intensive Care Unit)

Where they had to keep constantly monitor her. I was scared for her life. I was shaking, we all were.  It is not a good feeling when you mother at mid 50's

She was fighting for her life. I’m her youngest and I’m only 24 yrs old. Today the doctor said that now her ribs are getting damaged little by little this disease is taking

A part of her every day, and it’s all coming from her damaged liver. HE SAID, "SHE NEEDS A TRANSPLANT IMEDDIATLY." Within days or weeks. We need organizations that help families in situations like

 We need to fight for her life and help raise as much money as needed to KEEP HER WITH US. PLEASE SUPPORT THIS FUNDRAISOR,

IF YOU HAVE A LOVED ONE YOU CARE ABOUT. Think of why such desperation.

Please help us KEEP HER ALIVE, and in your prayers, we highly appreciate whatever you can help with.

Thank you and god bless.
