Stories of Hope

Donor tributes

Honoring those who gave

Thank you for this precious gift and bringing my boyfriend back

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

I’m a life-long organ donation advocate because of stories I heard at a college SODA event.

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 became a widow at age twenty-eight. My first husband, Matt, collapsed one evening from what we later discovered was a ruptured brain aneurysm.

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

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

She was beautiful inside an out, smart, funny, sensitive, amazing with kids and animals, generous and always stood up for those who were bullied.

The Cullen family talk about how living donation saved their daughter’s life.

Dr. Margo Gill honors her son Logan and stresses the importance of blood donation during this critical time.
