Description: Juanita Chavez and her sister Maria Elena were always very close. But until last year, neither could have imagined that one of them would give the other the gift of life by donating part of a major organ. At age 30, Juanita had been suffering from liver disease -- triggered by chronic hepatitis -- for a decade. Her body's immune system was attacking her liver. By last summer, Juanita's condition had dramatically worsened. Her skin turned yellow. Her belly swelled so much, she joked that she almost looked pregnant. She endured grueling cramps in her legs, arms, and hands. And she had less and less energy, making it harder and harder just to get through the day.
