Joey Gotowski is on the waiting list for four new organs, all part of a battle against disease and cancer that he's been fighting since the day he was born. He's one of more than 8,500 people in Pennsylvania on the donor organ waiting list, but waiting for four from the same donor puts him in a particularly difficult situation.

Tonight on FOX43 News at 10, FOX43's Kara Duffy talks to the Gotowski family about their heart-breaking wait for life-saving news. We talk about the shadow cast over Joey's young life, and their efforts to encourage organ donation in PA.

A new bill is being discussed in the PA Senate that could improve the state of organ donation in Pennsylvania. We went to Senator Stewart Greenleaf, who proposed this legislation, to find out exactly what this law wants to do. Don't miss this story of struggle and hope, tonight on FOX43 News at 10.
