A Bloomfield man spent more than two decades battling fatigue and the constant threat of illness. Now, he has a new lease on life thanks to the kindness of strangers.
Steve Sack was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver and ulcerative colitis just after he graduated from college. He was listed on the transplant list, but no liver was available.
“For years and years everything was OK. They monitored me, but then probably, about five or six years ago things took a pretty bad turn for the worse. The liver started to deteriorate,” he said. “I did end up having to have two blood transfusions because I had become so anemic.”
His daughter volunteered to be a living donor and give her father a part of her liver, but unfortunately, Sack became too ill to receive a liver from a living donor.
