'My daughter's liver was rotting - but I managed to save her life': Father who gave his baby a transplant urges others to become organ donors

Allie Driva, from Los Angeles, was diagnosed with biliary atresia, causing her liver to fail and her stomach to swell (left). 


With just days to live, she was saved after her father Ryan, 30, was found to be a match and donated part of his organ. Since the transplant, both are doing well (right) and Allie is now walking and talking like a typical 18-month-old. To mark a year since the transplant, Mr Driva shared the picture of his daughter's rotten organ to encourage others to become donors. He said: 'Seeing the difference is amazing. It is incredible to think she survived so long with such a sickly organ. I shared the image of Allie's liver (inset) because I want people to become donors, so their organs don't go to waste when they die. People could be saving lives.'
