A Navan man in need of a liver transplant is appealing to the public and sharing his story in the hopes of finding a match in order to save his life.
61-year-old Rolland Hupé was diagnosed with fatty liver disease and about four years ago, doctors told him he would need a liver transplant in order to live.
"It's a rollercoaster. He has good days, today is a good day and he has days where he doesn't get out of bed, he's weak and he's not well," said Hupé's wife Anne-Marie.
"They are encouraging us to look for a living donor so he could get a liver before he deteriorates too much, to increase his chances."
But the search has been far from easy. So far, there hasn't been a match.
"We had a lot of people that came forward," said Rolland, holding back tears.
Including his two children and his wife, along with other family members, but no one qualified.
