Michael Wagner of Ontario, Canada was forced to make the hardest decision of his life: choose which of his twin daughters would receive a life-saving donation. In the end, Wagner chose to donate part of his liver to Phouc, since he was the weaker of the twins, but the Wagner family made a desperate appeal to the public to find a donation for her sister Binh. The appeal was met less than three months later, after a mysterious donor stepped forward to save the toddler’s life.

Phouc and Binh have a rare genetic condition known as Alagille syndrome, characterized by abnormalities in the liver, heart, and other parts of the body, and also causes distinctive facial features. Michael and his wife Johanne adopted the girls from Vietnam in 2012, knowing that they had the condition, The NY Daily News reported. After Phouc’s surgery in February, her parents used social media to appeal to the public in hopes to find a liver donor for Binh. More than 400 generous individuals responded to the appeal, and according to the family’s Facebook page, their appeal was met this month.

"BINH RECEIVED HER GIFT!!!" the family wrote this month on a Facebook page they designed to document the experience. "There are not enough words to thank the amazing and so unselfish donor."

Binh is now recovering from her liver transplant, and according to their parents both girls are doing well.

"We are looking forward to all being reunited and leading a healthier life now, with both transplants finally behind us," the family said, The Daily News reported.
