When Wendy Amendolari’s husband, Randy Weber, needed both a kidney and liver transplant in 2022, two generous donors stepped forward to save his life. Watching their selflessness changed Wendy forever.

In honor of the donors who saved Randy’s life, she decided to do the same, donating part of her liver to a complete stranger.

“I wanted to give it to anyone who needed it. I didn’t care if it was an adult or a child, a male or a female, whoever needed it,” she said.

Wendy became one of fewer than 500 people in the U.S. to make a non-directed living liver donation, a rare act of compassion that gave someone she’s never met a second chance at life.

Her transplant team at UCHealth calls her gift extraordinary. To Wendy, it’s simple. “It’s really gratifying,” she said. “And I feel lucky that I was healthy enough to share part of my liver.”

Only about 500 people in the U.S. ever have stepped up to donate part of their liver to a stranger. Wendy is one of those people.
