Todd’s Story
Living with liver failure since a January 2024 diagnosis, 56-year-old Todd Moulton needed a miracle—and he got one. On November 19, 2024, Todd received a life-changing liver transplant.
The former Air Force cardiac specialist has lived in Toledo for almost his entire life. He first began experiencing liver failure symptoms in 2023, and while waiting for a transplant in 2024, Todd also learned he was in kidney failure.
“I was basically unable to do anything outside of dialysis,” he explained.
This transplant represents more than health to Todd—it represents a chance to give back. “I plan to volunteer to speak about liver disease,” he explained. “I just hope someone else can learn from my mistakes with my health.”
While the transplant gives him new hope for a healthier and brighter future, it also came with multiple out-of-pocket medical costs that Todd cannot cover alone. That’s why his loving community is fundraising with the trusted national nonprofit Help Hope Live.
They’ve raised over $1,880 since the first week of November.
“Bren & Angel at Tribes Tavern, my community, and my St. Vincent dialysis team have been a huge support system to me,” said Todd.
