remembering our

donor heroes

Organ Donor

My son was the most precious, loving, kind-hearted person. He unfortunately lost his life in 2023. He is very much missed, and there’s not a day or night that goes by that I don’t cry for him. It makes my heart smile knowing that someone in need will never feel the pain that I feel thanks to him. I love you as big as the sky my coon bear. My hero!

Saying thank you

Many donor families find that corresponding with the transplant recipient or recipients can be a powerful experience. Donor families can take comfort in sharing stories and sending well wishes to those who live on because of their loved one.

Should you choose to connect, we're here to help. Letters and cards can be a tremendous gift to both the donor families and recipients. To protect everyone, we provide guidelines for communication. Names remain confidential unless both parties agree to share those with one another, and we provide a correspondence address. We are happy to share sample letters to help you get started.

For more information about corresponding with recipients, please call us at 615-564-3649.

We can only do it together
