Amanda grew up very quickly

Amanda grew up very quickly when, at 15, she realized the responsibility behind being a heart transplant recipient, “Someone has to die in order for me to live. That’s a responsibility now. That's no longer something you can take lightly.”

  • That's so profound. And completely as she stated an Adult decision and one she can treasure and choose to live well with the rest of her life. Thanks for sharing!

    This is... wow. Incredible. I know how much my life changed at 13 years old when I woke up in the hospital, not knowing how I got there, hearing the words "you have type 1 diabetes". I also now know how much my life changed when I received the call, and my new organs, at 37 years old. I am proud of you @ChefAmanda for all that you have overcome. Thanks for sharing your story.
