When they first started talking, the girl had stage 4 liver disease and by that time she had been ill for two years. Doctors told her that the chances of survival were 50-50 if she didn't get a liver transplant in the next two months.
Heather's family tried their best to save her life, but finding a donor is not an easy task, since there were already 119 thousand people in the transplant queue.

Chris said that one day he heard his colleague mention his cousin, who needed a transplant. "I remember thinking then that I would like someone to help my family in such a situation."
Chris passed the necessary tests and found out that he could be a donor for Heather, whom he had not even seen.
The couple first met in February 2015, after which they went on a couple of dates.
By the time it was time to do the transplant, the young people spent a lot of time together. Chris recalls that he was sure of a positive result.
"Yes, of course I was nervous — because something could go wrong. But by that time I wasn't even going to change my mind."
Chris proposed to Heather 8 months after the surgery. And a year and a half after the transplant, the couple got married.
"It was a very emotional and touching moment, especially for her and her parents, to realize everything we had to go through. And I could not even think that I would marry this beautiful woman when I decided to save her and agreed to a liver transplant."
