My niece Princess Amarah was born on June 2nd 2017, a beautiful bundle of joy weighing at 3 kilos and 51cm in height. My brother Nino and sister in law Rose's first child together.
A month later Princess Amarah's skin yellowed, along with her eyes. Nino and Rose were concerned and took her to their local doctor. Blood tests showed she had Jaundice and later confirmed Princess has a condition called Biliary Astresia.
I was concerned for my niece. Not knowing what Biliary Astresia was, I googled it and this what came up:
Definition & Facts- Biliary atresia is a condition in infants in which the bile ducts outside and inside the liver are scarred and blocked. Bile can't flow into the intestine, so bile builds up in the liver and damages it. The damage leads to scarring, loss of liver tissue and function, and cirrhosis.

Now at 7 months old Princess Amarah weighs 5kg and 67cm in height. On the 15th of January 2018 she was admitted at Baguio General Hospital and Medical Center in Baguio City, Manila Philippines.
Rose has told me that Princess Amarah needs a complete liver transplant with a compatible donor. Without this operation my niece will pass away.
This operation costs between 5-6 million Philippine peso in the Philippines, but fortunately in India, the procedure can be done between 3-4 million Philippine peso (roughly $96,000 Australian Dollars).
With your help this fund raiser will provide for Princess Amarah's full liver transplant and any extra hospital and international fees. We are aiming at raising funds for $120,000 AUD.
I am asking if you could find it in your hearts to please donate and help save a young soul.
We also ask if you could include our Princess Amarah in your prayers.
Sending lots of love xoxo Trang and Quan
