LACKAWANNA COUNTY, Pa. — This is the story of two mothers and their young children and all the good that can happen when someone gives the gift of life.
It starts with a woman named Nofar Flesher from Taylor and her twins, one of whom, baby Noam, was born with a serious liver disease.
"Honestly, you're not thinking. You're in pretty much survival mode," Nofar said.
Little Noam had surgery at 1 month old to try and fix the issue. But as he turned one, doctors told Nofar he'd need a liver transplant.
