“My husband received a kidney and a liver in 2013 at the age of 63. I told the doctor he would come through it with flying colors, and he did. He was such a good patient and tried so hard. He was actually released from the hospital only four days after a double transplant. The doctors were amazed at how well he did, especially because of his age.

He was one tough cowboy. The doctors loved to see him coming because he had quite a sense of humor and wit. He was also a huge supporter of transplantation and never forgot about the young man and his family who made those extra years possible by donating his organs.

He did great until 2019, when he developed a blood clot that had nothing to do with his transplant. The doctors could not clear it, and he died from that clot in 2023. He would still be here if not for that blood clot.

Because of his transplant, I got to have him for 10 more years, and I will always be grateful for that.”

"Three-year-old Greyson was born with Peters anomaly, a rare congenital condition that clouds the eyes, obstructing vision. Thanks to the generosity of his cornea donors, today Greyson is able to see his parents, Nicole and Vickash, and enjoy the sights in the world around him.

'We once worried about his confidence, how he would recognize us and explore the world freely," Nicole said. 'Since having his sight restored, Greyson has brought our family so much joy, continuing to thrive in everyday life. His vision has improved in the best way possible.'" 💙💚 Thanks to The Eye Bank Association of America for sharing this story!

“I received the liver of a 7-year-old donor in 2012. I was 57 years old, and I appreciate that gift more than words can say.

This is me with my donor’s family in February 2013, eight months after my transplant.”

"My daughter was adopted through foster care when she was 3 years old. Her biological mother died at 28 from an aneurysm, so I always told my daughter that if she ever experienced a sudden headache or a leg cramp, she needed to get to the hospital because it could be a blood clot.

She did just that on Thanksgiving 2023. After being given a blood thinner, she left the emergency room against medical advice. Soon after, she was in and out of consciousness and called 911. Her heart stopped for 23 minutes.

She spent 3 1/2 days in a coma before she was declared brain-dead.

No one knew she was an organ donor until we saw it on the lock screen of her phone and on her driver's license. She had already made the decision herself.

She was always willing to help others, and she knew she wanted to continue helping even after her death."

"Two years ago, I was given a second chance at life. In June 2024, what should have been one of the happiest moments of my life quickly became one of the most terrifying. At 33 weeks pregnant with my twin girls, I became critically ill with Acute Fatty Liver of Pregnancy, a rare and life-threatening pregnancy complication. By the time my doctors determined what was happening, my liver enzymes were approaching 1,000 and I was in full liver failure.

My twin girls were delivered prematurely at 33 weeks, and just two days later, I received a liver transplant.

While waiting those two days for a match, my husband was told by my transplant team that without a transplant, I had only about a 20% chance of survival. While our family was praying for a miracle, another family was experiencing unimaginable grief. And in the midst of that grief, they made the selfless decision to give someone else the gift of life. Their decision saved mine.

Because of my donor, I am here today. I have been given two more years of birthdays, holidays, bedtime stories, hugs, laughter, and memories. Most importantly, my twin girls, who entered this world while their mom was fighting for her life, have been given the chance to grow up with me by their side.

Today, we are healthy, we are thriving, and we are together. None of that would have been possible without my donor angel, the incredible medical teams who cared for us, and a family who chose to help others during one of the most painful moments of their lives.

Every June 28th, I celebrate my 'liverversary,' but that day will never belong only to me. It is also a day that I honor and celebrate my donor—the person whose heart continued to give even after his stopped.

There are no words big enough to express what his gift has meant to our family. He didn’t just save my life. He gave my daughters their mom.

I will carry that gift, and the memory of my donor, with me for the rest of my life.

Two years later, I am still here. And I will never stop being grateful for the person and the family who made that possible."

"Years before my boyfriend Cory became a double-lung recipient, he was also a kidney donor.

In 2004, Cory’s wife at the time became very sick and desperately needed a kidney. Cory was tested and turned out to be a perfect match. He donated one of his kidneys to her, giving her 20 healthy years. She has since received a second transplant.

Fast forward to November 2021, when Cory caught COVID-19. Within a few days, his oxygen levels became dangerously low, and he was admitted to a local hospital. With the help of his sister Shilo and her team of medical professionals, Cory was intubated and transferred to a larger medical center, where he was placed on ECMO. It was the same hospital where, years earlier, he had donated his kidney.

Cory was incredibly sick. His medical team worked closely with colleagues at other transplant centers, and while at least three major transplant hospitals declined to take his case because of how sick he was, one was willing to give him a chance. They gave Cory goals he needed to meet to be considered for transplant, and in typical Cory fashion, he exceeded their expectations.
In early February, Cory was flown to the transplant center. Within days, he was placed on the transplant waiting list.

Early on Super Bowl Sunday, we were told they had found donor lungs and were determining whether they would be viable for Cory. They were. Shortly after the halftime show, his room filled with members of the transplant team preparing to take him back for surgery.

It was Feb. 13, and Cory’s lungs were so badly damaged that it took hours to remove them and transplant the donor lungs. On Feb. 14, we received the news we had been praying for: His surgery was a success.

We think of and pray for Cory’s donor and their family often. His story is one of so many impossibilities made possible by organ donors and phenomenal transplant teams of doctors, nurses, surgeons and so many others.

Today, Cory is back to doing the things he loves. He got to watch his son graduate from high school, a moment he almost didn’t get to see.

Cory knows the impact of organ donation from both sides, first as a living kidney donor and now as a double-lung recipient. He is a testament to what the gift of life can mean for an individual and their entire family."
