Carmen Palma needs our prayers. Palma is the President and CEO of the Buffalo Italian Festival, and dear friend of the Italian-American Police & Federation of Italian-Societies of WNY. Just last October, the businessman was honored as the Italian American Man of the Year by Western New York’s Italian-American Community.
Palma was diagnosed with liver cancer and was in need of a transplant.
A few days ago, Carmen’s wonderful grandson donated a portion of his liver – unfortunately, the liver didn’t take and doctors said he needed a complete liver and not a portion of a liver – which often works fine.
Yesterday, they did find another liver from a deceased person who was a registered organ donor. Surgery was finished at 4 am and Carmen is now resting.
Now family and friends are hoping for prayers. They believe in the power of prayer and hope you’ll take a few moments out of your day – during this crisis we are facing – and pray for Carmen. Carmen has spent his life helping others.
We are sending many prayers to this wonderful man and his family. This is a true reminder of the importance of organ donation. Please talk with your family members about your wishes and please consider giving the gift of life.
God Bless you Carmen!!
