My mother passed away in 2021. This was an unexpected death and during our family’s hardships, my father, sister, and I agreed to follow her wishes as a donor. She was a beautiful giving lady who always put others first and we felt that this would be a wonderful way for her to continue giving even after death. She was able to donate her kidneys, heart valves, and tissue to possibly affect over 76 peoples lives. While our family is grieving by her donation other families are celebrating another chance at life or regaining quality and quantity of life.
