If you are considering writing to your loved one’s recipient(s), please check out our helpful guidelines for drafting and sending your correspondence.

The fact that Daelynn would be able to save the lives of three others, be a hero for them, gave us so much pride in her. We are so proud of our little hero, and the process of donating her organs was life-changing for us, the recipients, and our family.
