Austin Lee: Giving back and helping others

Since I received the gift of life for the second time, I’ve made it my purpose to give back to my community.

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

“We have found joy in the decision that I know Abigail would’ve made herself.”

Paul was so grateful for the life saving organ donations that extended his life.

I promise my children will always know their hearts beat for two and I hope we make you proud.

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