A family experiences the true meaning of thanksgiving. Abraham Aviv experienced end stage liver cancer and was in need of a liver transplant. Unfortunately, none of Aviv’s family members were a match.
When twenty nine year old family friend Nikko Velazquez learned this, he got tested to be a liver donor candidate. Soon after, he got a life-changing call from Cleveland Clinic.
Velazquez donated one third of his liver, giving Aviv the gift of life. The transplant was a success, and both men are doing well.
