When 5-year-old Ezra Toczek from Alden, New York, USA faced complications of progressive liver disease, his former daycare teacher, Carissa Fisher, became an unexpected hero, reports News Medical Life Sciences.
The 21-year-old teacher and member of the US Air Force selflessly donated a portion of her liver, giving Ezra a second chance at life.
The lifesaving transplant was performed by clinical teams at Hassenfeld Children's Hospital at NYU Langone and the NYU Langone Transplant Institute.
In 2025, Karen and Ron Toczek welcomed Ezra, at just 7 months old, into their home as a foster child. Ezra suffered severe liver damage at birth, which caused bile duct blockages and impaired liver function.
By February 2025, Ezra's condition had worsened, and he was diagnosed with end-stage liver disease. Symptoms such as severe itching, liver scarring, and fatigue made daily life difficult.
Karen turned to social media to share her son's story, hoping to find a donor.
Carissa, who had been Ezra's daycare teacher years before, saw the post and immediately felt called to help. Without notifying the family, she applied to donate a portion of her liver through the Liver Transplant Program at NYU Langone's Transplant Institute.
Carissa underwent an array of tests to confirm she'd be a good candidate and that it would be safe for her to donate a portion of her liver. The tests revealed she was a perfect match.
On August 7, Carissa underwent a minimally invasive robotic surgery at NYU Langone, led by Karim J. Halazun, MD, surgical director of the Adult Liver Transplant Program, to remove 30 percent of her liver for donation.
Ezra's transplant was successfully performed by Dr. Griesemer and pediatric transplant surgeon Bernardo Daniel Campos, MD.
The liver is the only organ that can regenerate and heal itself over time
"It's pretty incredible that in just six months, my liver will have fully grown back," said Carissa. "Not many people realize that."
