Organ donation is one of the greatest gifts an individual can give to another.
Recently, Amy and I had the chance to speak with a mother and daughter who participated in a “Paired Organ Donation” – which means that because the daughter wasn’t an exact match for her mother, they paired her with another set of donors/recipients who were a match. A swap, essentially.
Their inspiring story is about family. Their story is about individuals they may never meet but have a profound effect on their lives. Their story is about new futures.
Eliana and Julie tell their story. If you feel inclined to help someone – even a stranger that you have never met, The National Kidney Foundation has some amazing information and resources.
