Because thier mixed race
The issue is that Hispanic and Latinos arent real races.
poor lil boy. I hope they find a doner soon.
Poor baby
GO BACK TO SOUTH AMERICA TO FIND A DONOR THEN 🤷ðŸÂ¼â€ÂÂ♂ï¸ÂÂ🇺🇸
They were Mexicans 4 yrs ago. Why now?
This story touches me. I'm going to call to see what I can do to be a donor.
ABC your racist reporting has become laughable.
More race pandering
Why can't they just be human beings
It's sickening
I’ve offered to be tested for a match but because I’m older, I would have to pay for it myself and I’m unemployed due to Covid. That should be changed
How could we contact the family? My daughter was an organ donor recipient, extended her life 5 years against all odds. I would like to give some support to this family.
That's because they are race mixed.
Religion causes a lot of people to not want to be donors. Religion sets back so many positive scientific and social advancements. Very sad so many adults are wasting their lives holding back the advancement of human kind over a bedtime story.
How can I see if I match to help him
I’m a donor for if I pass away. I’ve done bloodwork to make sure I’m healthy. How can I become a live donor ?
