Joanna Pellegrini: My liver transplant story
I am grateful to God and all who participated in my donation, months of prep, surgery, and recovery. They are ALL superheroes. THANK YOU.

I am thankful everyday for the opportunity to be my father’s donor and the dedication and inspiration of those ICU nurses.
I volunteered to be evaluated and when I learned I was eligible to donate, it was truly one of the happiest moments of my life.
Many of us did die from IPF but because of two incredibly loving families our mother was spared the loss of two more children. Without these transplants, our life expectancies were no more than three to four months.
Thank you to all the people that made me enjoy life again, especially my unknown 20-year-old donor.
