Tri-Valley alum in need of

a liver Submitted

We are reaching out to ask for some-
one to give Kayla Jones, the gift of life!
Kayla, 36, was diagnosed in November
2023 with colon cancer which metas-
tasized to her liver. Since then she has
undergone many surgeries and chemo-
therapy treatments. Her only option is a
Liver Transplant! Due to her functioning
liver, she will be low on the transplant
list. Since time is of the essence, a liv-
ing donor would be best! If you find it
in your heart to be Kayla’s miracle you
must be between the ages of 18-60 and
the blood type A or O! Please follow the
link to apply or call Cleveland clinic living
donor office at 216–4 44–1976.
