Without my transplant and donor, I wouldn’t be here to write this, and I would have died living a lie. This month will be the first Pride Month I get to openly celebrate and enjoy.
Jayde Kelly: A renewed heart
I would not be alive today if it weren’t for the selfless act of another human making the decision to donate organs.
