Iowa three-year-old battling a rare liver cancer is looking good after receiving three donor organs.
It has been a rough couple of years for little Evie Fairman, but things are finally looking up. At two, she was diagnosed with Hepatoblastoma, a rare type of liver cancer that only one in a million children have. She’s had chemo, but the cancer returned. And now, after a long fight, she’s just had a triple organ transplant that should leave her cancer-free.
The three-year-old from Iowa is recovering from a liver, small bowel, and pancreas transplant and everything went well and doctors think little Evie will be moved from intensive care soon. She’ll need a few more rounds of chemo, but things look positive.
“For her to have these organs, some other parents had to lose a loved one and it is because of their compassion that Evie is able to get this chance,” says her mom, Taylor Fairman. “It’s something to admire … Someone that has compassion and kindness to truly help others when they are going through a loss.”

Donnie Wahlberg left a huge tip at a Waffle House in Charlotte, North Carolina.
- Donnie Wahlberg has been leaving big tips across the country.
- He left a $2-thousand dollar tip at a Waffle House in Charlotte, North Carolina.
- He also gave fellow diners tickets and backstage passes to the New Kids on the Block show.
Attention, waitresses – if Donnie Wahlberg comes into your restaurant, make sure you’re nice to him. He’s clearly on a tipping tour. Last month, he gifted the overnight crew at a Waffle House in Edgewater, Maryland with $5-hundred bucks.
This time, the New Kids on the Block star left a $2-thousand dollar tip on an $82 dollar bill at a Waffle House in Charlotte, North Carolina. He explained yesterday’s random act of kindness with, “My mom waited tables, and my dad tended bars-- for years! So, when I walk into a #WaffleHouse, and the staff treats me like a king, you better believe I treat them like queens!”
As if that weren’t enough, Donnie also gave some of his fellow diners tickets and backstage passes to the NKOTB show.
