Girl with failing liver waiting on transplant

Posted: Updated:
CHARLESTON, West Virginia -

A little girl in our region has had a tough start to life.

But now her friends and neighbors are rallying around her to help.

A fundraiser is planned next weekend for Tori King. She is six months old.

Tori has a rare chronic liver disease called biliary atresia and is waiting for a liver transplant.

Those who love her are hosting a walk in her honor to raise money for her medical cost and awareness about organ donation.

"We feel like we are blessed to have a community embrace her and we feel like it is God's work," said Tori's dad, Bill King.

The "Walk for Tori King" will take place Saturday August 25 at Haddad Riverfront Park in Charleston at 6 p.m.
