A One year old child needs your help in his fight for life.

Mason Thibault is the nephew of a Macon Police Department Officer Jon Wantz.

Mason was born prematurely, and was later diagnosed with Necrotizing Entercolotis; an infection of the intestines that ultimately causes destuction of the tissues.

Mason has been placed on an organ transplantation waiting list.

Wentz added, "With 10-15% of his small intestine, he won't survive. If they took him off of the central line, he would most definitely die. So that's the big thing now."

Insurance only covers a small amount of the transplant, and Mason's family needs your help to finance the life or death surgery.

To help the family, visit www.cotaformasont.com, or his Facebook page at http://apps.facebook.com/causes/344345?m=8104e14f.
