My mom was amazing. She had an infectious laugh and a beautiful smile. She is deeply missed by her children and family, adopted kids, friends and pets. She fought an amazing fight. We love you, momma. I hope you’re up there dancing.
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.
