My brother Pete was listed for a double lung transplant in 2013. Unfortunately, he was one of the many who passed away while waiting. While he did not receive the second chance that we hoped and prayed for, Pete went on to be a donor hero. He gave the gift of tissue to heal and enhance the lives of others. For the past 10+ years, I have been fortunate enough to honor my brother each day in my work supporting donor families.

DONATION SUPPORT SERVICES MANAGER

CINCINNATI, OH

To me, donation is helping someone, being kind, and providing light in someone’s moment of darkness. I have been honored to have seen the impact donation has on others, and I have also been honored to have felt that impact as well. My dad is a tissue recipient, and that simple act of pure kindness left a tremendous impact on my entire family. We will forever be grateful to the family that said “yes” to helping someone, “yes” to being kind, and “yes” in their time of darkness.
