Anyone who’s been a babysitter or worked as a nanny knows the great responsibility that rests on your shoulders.
Most babysitters take the job seriously, but some go above and beyond what any parent could ask for.
Kiersten Miles had been caring for George and Farra Rosko’s three children for some weeks, however when one of the children’s lives was in jeopardy, kiersten had to make a scary life changing decision.
The Roskos will be forever thankful for the decision she made!
Kiersten Miles is a 22-year-old student from New Jersey who needed a job to support her studies.
She contacted the Rosko family through a friend and immediately started working for them.
In no time, Kiersten formed a strong bond with the couple’s three kids, and especially their youngest daughter, Talia.
Some sad news came and the doctor said that Talia needed a new liver, she had a very rare and life threatening liver disease, Kiersten was right there without even a second thought to offer if part of her liver could help.
Donating part of your liver isn’t like donating blood. It involves invasive surgery and there are certain risks involved.
But Kiersten stood by her decision and applied to be Talia’s donor. And when she got her test results back, Kiersten proved to be a perfect match!
Talia’s parents were ecstatic and more that thankful to Kiersten for her selfless act, however, they made sure that they didn’t push Kiersten at all to make the decision, they didn’t want her to regret it later.
Kiersten certainly had no regrets at all, and on the 11th January 2017, she and Talia took the journey to hospital to undertake the 14 hour surgery together.
The doctors administered anesthesia to Kiersten then removed part of her liver, immediately performing a transplant on tiny Talia.
First, the doctors gave Kiersten anesthesia and removed part of her liver, and then they immediately performed a transplant on little Talia.
Thank goodness, the transplant was successful!
Kiersten stayed at the hospital for five days and Talia stayed for nine.
Thankfully, both Kiersten and Talia quickly recovered, and today, Talia is a new toddler.
Thankfully, by the grace of the great surgeons the transplant was successful and both Talia and Kiersten recovered quickly.
Talia today is renewed and doing all the things a toddler should be doing, now she can play and run and eat like never before!
Kiersten of course really does deserve a huge big hug, “thank you” for her amazing gesture. Some people really do have a heart of gold!
Kiersten gave and still does, in her storey, give us both hope and inspiration in a cruel cold world!
In a world where humanity sometimes seem cold and selfish, people like Kiersten really give us hope and inspiration!
She could have just kept living her life focusing on herself, but instead, she chose to go through a long process that exposed hers to risk — all so a little girl would have the chance to live.
If Kiersten isn’t a superhero, then we don’t know who is!
