"Trevor Samson was born with a disease called biliary atresia, a life-threatening condition in infants in which the bile ducts inside or outside the liver do not have normal openings.

Trevor endured his first surgery six weeks after his birth, and doctors told his parents that he would need a liver transplant or he would die. When he was 10 months old, he underwent a grueling transplant surgery, with his mom giving him part — 20 percent — of her liver so he could live."
