I am Grateful:
-Thankful to the donor family

campaign

Many organ recipients take things for
granted and never say a word of thanks
to the DONOR family !
The Transplant Coordinator got to
purchase a Thank You card as if it was
from the recipient and send to the donor
family as appreciative of their noble and
altruistic act of organ donation, the Gift
of Life!

Don’t ever forget that….
No Donor=No Organ=No Transplant
