This is a plea for help. My sister's baby (born Oct.26, 1988) needs  a
liver  transplant. Jill Akiko Nolen suffers from a degenerative condi-
tion called biliary atresia, which is an underdevelopment or  blockage
of the bile ducts of the liver. It invariably leads to liver failure.

Jill's family hopes that her story will be picked up by the SJ and  SF
newspapers.  Her story has already been given publicity from a newspa-
per in Bend, Oregon, a city close to her home residence.  This  e-mail
is a shot in the dark, but I had to try it as a means of reaching peo-
ple, and from there many more by word of mouth. Let me stress, that my
e-mail  asking  for  possible  donor  information  is only done out of
desperation and grief.

Please let's not have any e-mail debates over this topic.  I  am  very
sorry if I have offended anyone by this message.

If you have any information that could possibly help Jill,  please  e-
mail me at

        "..!{bridge2,3comvax}!ESD.3+.3Com.Com!Peggy_Dowling"
			or
	"Peggy_Dowling@ESD.3+.3Com.Com"

Thank you,

Peggy Dowling
