The baby, 4-month-old Helin, was diagnosed with a rare and life-threatening liver disease called Biliary Atresia.
Her desperate mother, Anna Shushura, turned to social media, posting a heartfelt plea for help. The post, which described Helin’s dire situation and the urgency of her need for a liver transplant, caught the attention of Letty Fenlon.

Letty, moved by the mother's plea, immediately felt compelled to act. She reached out to the liver donation team and underwent numerous tests to determine if she could be a match for Helin.
"When I found out I was a match, it was an amazing feeling to know I could potentially save Helin's life," Letty shared in an interview with the Daily Record. "Don't get me wrong, I was nervous too because it is a major, high-risk surgery but I knew I had to do it."

The surgery was a success, and Helin received her new liver without complications.
Overwhelmed with relief and gratitude, Anna shared the joyous news on social media, expressing her deep appreciation for Letty's selfless act.
"I will be forever grateful [to] our donor, she saved her life. All the words in the world won't be enough to say thanks," Anna wrote.
