I would not be alive today if it weren’t for the selfless act of another human making the decision to donate organs.
My goal is to share my story with others to get more people to register as donors and also help boost the morale of those on the waiting list for transplant.
What you don’t hear about as frequently are the challenges that come as a recipient – and for me, I struggle with survivor’s guilt.
I named my kidney Grace because, God was the only one who could heal me and his love for me made me think of Grace.
I’m a life-long organ donation advocate because of stories I heard at a college SODA event.
