The Wagner family is turning to social media for help in finding a liver donor to save the second twin.
A father in Canada is facing a heartbreaking dilemma: he is a liver donor match for his 3-year-old twins but he can only save one of them.

Michael and Johanne Wagner started a fundraising page and a Facebook page in an attempt to find a donor to ensure both of their girls can have the life-saving operation.
The couple adopted Binh and Phuoc from Vietnam in 2012. The girls suffer from Alagille syndrome, a genetic disorder that affects many organs, including the liver.

The girl’s father is a match and can donate part of his liver to one of the twins, the family wrote on their GoFundMe page. However, this leaves the family with an agonizing decision.
“We are faced with a potentially life-saving operation for one of our girls, but this leaves us wondering about the other,” they wrote.
