Aunt Donates Liver To Save Nieces’ Life

A newborn baby with a life-threatening liver condition has been saved after undergoing a transplant from her mother’s twin sister.

Star Reader was diagnosed with Biliary Atresia within days of being born in Barnsley, West Yorkshire.

After undergoing an operation to have her bile ducts unblocked, her parents, Jade Reader and Matthew Bygrave, were told the infant would need a liver transplant in order to survive.
With neither parent a suitable match, her maternal aunt Shanell Reader offered part of her organ, and has since saved her niece’s life.
