Living donor stories

Shannon Palmatier: Camden’s Journey

Almost six months post transplant, Camden is back to school and healthier than ever.

I am forever grateful for my brother and my transplant team!

As a Christian, if I had to sum up my why in just a couple words, it would be “God-led.”

I wanted to make him comfortable, to let him know he had nothing to worry about. I am the donor.

I am thankful everyday for the opportunity to be my father’s donor and the dedication and inspiration of those ICU nurses.
