Stories of Hope
Cindy
When Cindy Corlett lost her daughter Molly, her world shattered. But even in the heartbreak, knowing that Molly saved five lives through organ donation became a source of healing. Molly had proudly checked the box when she got her license at 16. That one decision has kept her memory alive in the most meaningful way.
Cindy honors her daughter’s selflessness and finds comfort in knowing that Molly’s legacy lives on in the lives she saved. One of those recipients is a mother of six. As Cindy puts it, “I think about those six children who get to wake up each morning with their mom thanks to Molly’s gift.” While the grief remains, knowing Molly saved lives has brought healing to Cindy and hope to the families who now get more time together.
