Stories of hope

Ivette Rodriguez: Blessed

I am a special education teacher, educational diagnostician and volleyball official. I am 45-years-old with two adult daughters with four siblings. I suddenly got sick and ended up at hospital encephalatic with a meld score of 40. Thank you to the donor and family. I’m grateful and blessed to be alive and in really good health. My family, the people who prayed for me, and the medical staff all helped me through this. This donor saved my life and likely an additional seven! Thank you!
