She Donated A Piece Of Her Liver To Her Ex-Boyfriend But Not Her Niece, And Her Family Is Furious
A young woman recently donated a piece of her liver to her ex-boyfriend, but she just refused to do the same thing for her niece, and now her family is furious.
Her story starts at 6-years-old when she and her family were forced to move in with her Aunt Mila after her dad lost his job.
While living with her extended family, her aunt and her niece Gina were absolutely awful to her and her mom.
Things in their household got so bad that she developed a terrible anxiety disorder. She moved out as she started college, and she knows there was one reason why she was able to be ok in such a terrible environment: her high school boyfriend, Julian.
“I know I only survived my teen years because of him,” she explained. “We broke up on good terms after four years of relationship and went low contact until the last year.”
“We started to hang out (as friends), he looked different but I couldn’t tell why, there were some days when he wouldn’t respond to my calls or messages.”
“Long story short, his mom told me that he had inherited a disease from his dad and that he needed a liver transplant or wouldn’t make it, she also told me that he was hopeless because they had no family, and she and his brother weren’t compatible.”
She decided to see if she could be a match for Julian, and after undergoing testing, it was confirmed that she was Julian’s only match.
She wanted to save Julian’s life, so she stepped up to donate a piece of her liver to him. Several days prior to her surgery to save Julian, she was surprised to get a call from her niece Gina.

Gina wanted her to come over to her Aunt Mila’s house to speak to them about a very “important” problem.
Although she really didn’t want to have to spend any time around her Aunt Mila, she went to the house to see what her family had to say.
“When I got there Mila told me that Gina was sick and needed a liver transplant,” she said. “They had ran the tests and no one could be her donor…so they needed me to do it.”
“I told them that I was sorry about what was happening, but couldn’t do it because I was already giving a part of my liver to someone else.”
After her refusal, Aunt Mila freaked out on her, so she ended up leaving. On her way out, she could see that Gina was in tears.
Later on, her family pleaded with her to change her mind and agree to help Gina. Then, the day of her surgery arrived.
She went in, and everything was a success, however after she woke up and checked her phone, she saw that her family had been sending her cruel messages in an effort to make her feel bad or change her mind about Gina.
Aunt Mila says it’s going to be on her if Gina passes away, and she can’t stop thinking about that.
She’s wondering if she should change her mind and help Gina after all, even though Gina was so mean to her growing up.
