“I figured, I’m the identical blood sort they want, how about I look into it to see what the method is like, as a result of it’s not an enormous deal for me to get a not-very invasive surgical procedure, and my liver will regenerate in a couple of months, and it may give this man a protracted life along with his spouse and youngsters,” mentioned Warren.

After finishing paperwork and a few checks, Warren, who’s from Kinmount however lives in Cobourg now, ended up being a match for his buddy’s husband, however he wasn’t the one one.
“Finally, [donor organizers] despatched me an e-mail and mentioned, ‘hey, thanks for your entire work and every little thing, however we discovered a donor for this man and he’s able to go in,’” mentioned Warren. “I mentioned, nicely, was there anybody else I may donate to, as a result of I’ve already come this far, I’ve already determined and I’m already able to go, so I’d as nicely undergo with it for somebody.”

After additional testing, Warren was informed his liver can be appropriate for a pediatric recipient, and he may endure surgical procedure that may take away about 40 per cent of his liver for that recipient in February.  
“I imply, it’s nice irrespective of who’s getting a liver,” he mentioned. “It doesn’t change for me, so long as I’m serving to somebody.”
Final June, the Canadian Medical Affiliation Journal reported that COVID-19 outbreaks throughout the pandemic, the next postponement of surgical procedures to release hospital sources and different challenges have been inflicting a disruption in transplant operations and the provision of organs.
“Not all people has on a regular basis, not all people’s been unfortunate sufficient to be laid off this lengthy and fortunate sufficient that they’ll return to their job, however that additionally signifies that this poor man, lots of people can’t assist him as a result of folks can’t take the time without work work, they’ll’t afford to take the time without work work,” mentioned Warren.

In Ontario there have been 555 donors final 12 months, 244 of them dwelling donors. As of Jan. 26 this 12 months, there are 1,555 folks ready for an organ or tissue donation – 28 of them between the age of zero and 17, and 266 of them ready for a liver. At any time, organ and tissue donation is crucial to these in want, however nonetheless solely 35 per cent of Ontarians are registered to be a donor.
“Folks hold telling me [it’s a big deal], nevertheless it simply appears type of like the fitting factor to do,” mentioned Warren. “I’ve been off work as a result of I work in a on line casino and we’re not but open, so I’m simply type of ready to return to work, and I determine I’d as nicely do one thing with the time,” he mentioned.
Warren laughs when informed that most individuals aren’t spending their time without work attributable to pandemic restrictions as organ donors, and that Netflix has generally been an choice to fill the time.

“I imply, I’ve been doing a justifiable share of that, too,” he mentioned. “And this, it’s going to take somewhat little bit of time to heal, nevertheless it’s not a really invasive surgical procedure. For me it’s not an enormous deal, however for them it’s life-changing and life-saving, hopefully. I’ll undergo somewhat little bit of surgical procedure and somewhat little bit of uncomfortable restoration time to save lots of any individual else – it looks as if a no brainer to me.”

To arrange to grow to be a donor, Warren mentioned he needed to full paperwork to find out medical historical past together with allergy symptoms, after which make visits to Toronto Common Hospital for a number of checks – bloodwork, a chest X-ray, CT scans and an MRI. He’s additionally had a number of telephone calls, together with one from a psychologist, who requested his causes for changing into a donor, and his ideas in regards to the course of.

“There are fairly a couple of questions,” he mentioned. “Do you anticipate to get something out of this, and are you ready for if the recipient doesn’t pull via, and stuff like that … I’d wish to at the least know in the event that they’ve made it or not, however that’s one thing the psychologist confused lots, are you ready for if the surgical procedure isn’t successful and so they don’t make it, is that one thing you’re ready for? As unhappy as that may be, at the least I did as a lot as I may to present them a combating probability.”

Warren is not going to know who the recipient of his liver donation is – the Trillium Present of Life Community oversees transplants in Ontario and retains donor and recipient info non-public – however he’ll be capable to write a letter that the recipient can select to answer, post-surgery.
“I’m principally going to say, I hope this liver is sweet for you and I hope you reside a protracted wholesome life due to it,” mentioned Warren. “I don’t actually know what I’ll say, I hope it simply kind of flows out of me on the level once I’m writing the letter.”

Initially the surgical procedure was slated for Feb. 18, however has been fast-tracked to Feb. 4.
“The nearer it will get the extra nervous I get, nevertheless it’s clearly not going to be nervous sufficient to discourage me from doing it,” mentioned Warren. “I’m nonetheless enthusiastic about it. I’m excited to get in there and expertise it and hopefully assist this child.”

Warren mentioned the concern of being immunocompromised throughout the pandemic is inflicting some nervousness, however the provincial stay-at-home orders in place have left him at house previous to the process, and his restoration will see him at house for six to eight weeks of restoration.

To assist with the monetary stress of being a donor – journeys to the hospital, parking whereas there, and medicines post-surgery together with a each day needle which may not be coated by Warren’s advantages, which run out on the finish of February – his girlfriend Kelly Cooney has began a GoFundMe web page that in simply 5 days has raised virtually $5,000 from 65 donors to assist Warren cowl bills throughout his restoration. The pair will donate any surplus they don’t must SickKids.

“I’ve been attempting to save cash,” mentioned Warren. “It’s somewhat robust with COVID and never working. I’ve managed to save lots of up enough-ish cash, after which it acquired fast-tracked and now I’m falling behind.”

Regardless of that problem, Warren isn’t pondering twice about it.
“It looks as if the fitting factor to do,” he mentioned. “I don’t perceive why extra folks aren’t doing it. … I encourage everybody to at the least take into consideration donating. For me, at the least, it doesn’t look like it’s an enormous deal when you’ve acquired the time without work and also you’re OK with somewhat little bit of a painful restoration for a couple of weeks, it may save any individual’s life. It may give any individual the remainder of their lives with their spouse or their children or their mother and father if they’re a child.”
