Living liver donor sought for woman in need of transplant

(BROOKVILLE, Ind.) – A Brookville man is hoping to connect his mother-in-law with a liver donor. 

61-year-old Laurie Elixman, of Fishers, is battling nonalcoholic cirrhosis and needs a live as soon as possible. 

Nate Lake is hoping someone can be a match. He said Laurie is O+ and any O donor under 50-years-old could help save her life.
