Bijou Phillips is urgently seeking a living kidney donor.<\/p>\n
The actor previously received a kidney transplant in 2017, but has since suffered complications that have rendered her in need of another.<\/p>\n
Phillips is currently hospitalised on dialysis in a Los Angeles hospital.<\/p>\n
“Please help me find a living donor so that I can have more time with my daughter, family, and friends,” Phillips wrote on Instagram. “Time is of the essence.” <\/p>\n
In the post, the Almost Famous star further shared that she has struggled with health problems related to her kidneys since birth. <\/p>\n
“I was born with underdeveloped kidneys and spent the first three months of life in the NICU on dialysis,” she said. <\/p>\n
“In 2017, I received the incredible gift of a kidney from a dear friend. That transplant gave me 8 precious years to be a mother to my daughter – but I have had many complications since.”<\/p>\n
Phillips contracted a virus that led to the new donor kidney being rejected, she explained.<\/p>\n
She shared a link to a Google Form that potential donors can fill out. <\/p>\n
“It will only take 15 seconds and can save a life,” Phillips wrote. “I’m asking as a friend, a sister, an aunt, and most importantly, a single mother to an incredible and brave daughter.”<\/p>\n
Phillips has sole custody of her daughter. The 11-year-old’s father, That ’70s Show actor Danny Masterson, is serving 30 years in prison after being found guilty of forcible rape.<\/p>\n
