Leo was 17 yrs old when his life was tragically taken from gun violence. In the days following this tragic event, I made the decision to donate his internal organs. This decision was made out of love and compassion for others. I also know Leo would have made the same decision if he was able to. Leo was able to donate his kidneys, liver, and pancreas. In August 2018, 3 families were given the gift of life. Three families will not have to feel the grief I live with daily, and for that I am proud. I am blessed to be able to share 17 years with my precious son. I pray that the recipients of his organs have even more years to share with their families.
