Veteran…pageant queen…dual organ donor? Oh my!

“I’m dedicated to reducing the number of transplant recipients on the waiting list.”

“I donated my left kidney through a voucher program.”

“I believe that what we leave in this world is more important than what we take.”

I hope to inspire at least one other person to donate a kidney.

“It really feels amazing knowing that I gave someone their life back.”

“My donation helped me realize how precious life is.”
