Organ, eye and tissue donations can have a lasting impact on transplant recipients and their loved ones. Hear real-life stories from individuals who have received lifesaving and life-enhancing transplants, thanks to the generosity of donors and their families.
At 27 years old, after waiting three years for the liver transplant he needed to survive, Ray had a new outlook on life. “I decided life is too short to not have fun,” he said.
Deb and Paula share a love for books, and as former school classmates, they were reunited by joining a local book club together. Little did they know that they shared something much deeper. At one book club meeting, as Deb talked about the liver transplant that saved her life, Paula started to piece together the dates and wonder if maybe her brother Mark Coker, who had passed away that same day, could have been her donor.
As Darrin’s health continued to get progressively worse, his doctor told him he would need a kidney transplant to survive. Jake heard how sick another member of his church congregation was, and he knew he had to try to help. Jake spoke with his wife and decided that he wanted to be tested to see if he could be a match for Darrin.
