Today is the last day of Donate Life Month and also Donor Remembrance Day! I would love to hear some stories about your donors! Or, if you had a deceased donor, an annonymous donor or a living donor that you know, what is something you've accomplished since recieving your transplant that you wish you could share with them?

I was told my donor was a man in his 40’s in relatively good health. I did send my donor family a letter and received word from the OPO that it would be forwarded to the family. I would love to know about him yet am preparing if the family does not choose to initiate communication. I would like to say thank you for an extra 2 years with my daughters and with the man I am building a future with. I think about him and his family every day.
That is so sweet, thank you for sharing this with us! I really hope that you hear back from them. I know that not everyone chooses to respond back but your effort to reach out and express your gratitude/share your story is still important and I am sure goes a long way for them. Also wishing continued good health and happiness for you and your family!
