Liver transplant stories

John Fahey: Unfathomable gratitude

I’ve always been registered as an organ donor but I never dreamed that I would be on the receiving end.

I fought hard, but everyday the fight became harder, until I received a referral for a transplant evaluation.

A donor saved my life and likely an additional seven! Thank you!

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.

Born with a rare metabolic disease, Terri was frequently in the hospital as a child. She thinks about her donor every day.
