Jeffrey Peek
Organ Donor
/October 22, 2022
My son Jeffrey decided when he was 16 to be a donor. He was a goofy and passionate young man. He truly loved his family (especially mom, his brother and nephew) and friends. He was a football player for 6 years and in 2017 he represented California at the Florida Shiners Bowl. His favorite sport was wrestling. He was a 2020 and 2022 champion. I can go and on of all the amazing things he did in his life. I’m such a proud mom.
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.
