The Ouimet family’s two youngest kids both have a rare liver disorder, and were both desperately needing kidney transplants until they received life-saving phone calls hours apart.

For the family from Antioch, this incredibly tough journey began roughly 10 years ago.

Matthew Ouimet first received a liver and kidney transplant at the age of 2. Now at 11 years old, Matthew is back home recovering from his 2nd kidney transplant.
