Lung transplant stories

Debi: a double lung transplant

“I can only thank the beautiful choice of my unknown donor.”

A family lost someone so dear to them, but he saved so many lives, my husband’s included.

“Please know with every breath I take, I am forever and lovingly connected to my donor and you.”

All in all, it has been a very transformational year! I can hardly keep my enthusiasm contained for this new season of life.

Born with cystic fibrosis, Heather received a double-lung and liver transplant at age 19.

I have spent the past 8 plus years paying tribute to my donor Rita in all I do.
