Stories of Hope
“It was a great way for us on transplant row to share the message and show our gratitude for our gifts, especially the ability to get back to doing something that we love and has been a part of our lives for so long,”
“We are so thankful for our donor family’s gift to Lella,” said Lyndall, Lella’s mother. “Our goal as a family is to help someone else, if possible. To see Lella make that choice to register as an organ, eye, and tissue donor filled our hearts with overwhelming pride and hope.”
“It’s like life flashing before your eyes,” he explains. “You’re in the surgical trauma ICU, and you can’t leave without a liver. Everything is dependent on someone else’s yes.”
