Stories of Hope
“There’s some comfort knowing that your person is out there somewhere and that your person did directly ensure somebody else was going to live, which is just so cool," Stef Shared.
"Not just because of the job I do, but as a human it really motivated me to be better, to be kinder, and to think about others because I can have the greatest gift even though I don’t have all the riches I want, but I have time with my son and things I love within my reach," said Aris.
“It saves a life and gives a person more life," said Sherri. "You don’t realize what that means until it knocks on your door. But I feel like it shouldn’t have to knock on your door to understand it’s truly about saving someone’s life and giving them more life.”
