United Press International ABILENE — A 12-year-old boy with a transplanted liver and a very large heart says he feels confident abou( raising $140,000 for a baby girl who will die within a month without a similar operation. “I’ve done it for others,” said Lance Ray, who flew to Abilene from his home in Beaumont to spearhead the fund drive for 8- month-old Ashley Bailey of Abilene. “And every summer on June 6 through 12 I go around my school and collect money for the Children’s Liver Associa tion.” The blond-haired, freckle faced boy proudly pulled up his shirt and showed reporters the scar from his operation. “The transplant operation was not painful,” he saia. “Itjust feels good to be alive.” Doctors at a Minnesota hos pital Wednesday completed tests on the infant, who suffers from a liver disease that could kill her within a month if she does not receive a transplant. Betty Bradberry of the Chil dren’s Liver Association said be cause the girl is so young, the association has not had time to raise the $140,000 required by University of Minnesota Hospit al for the operation. “The hospital cannot bear the tremendous financial burden without endangering its entire liver transplant program,” Bradberry said. The sixth-grader, who got a new liver in an operation in De nver in February 1980 said he now leads a normal life, includ ing extra-curricular activities. “Next year, I plan to play football,” he said. By Wednesday night, the campaign had gathered $20,570 to Ashley’s fund at First State Bank in Abilene. “I understand that this is an expensive operation, and if we don’t get the money they (the hospital) can’t do their re search,” said Bailey, a truck driv er. “We’re on our knees praying and crying, hoping to save our child.” Ashley’s attending physician has agreed to reduce her fee, but that still leaves $ 140,000 the hos pital requires if the operation is to be performed, Bailey said.
