"My son passed away and became a tissue donor. He was in the military and injured his foot during boot camp. He completed two sessions of training, and by the time the second one ended, he heard and felt an extremely loud pop in his foot. They determined he needed to be discharged from the Army.

We went to the airport to pick him up. He came home so depressed. His depression stayed with him. His friends moved away. After several years, he gave up.
At 23, on April 11, 2022, He gave in to the PTSD.

We were able to donate his tissue and help another person. We are grateful knowing that a part of our son is able to help someone else."

"My daughter, Shayna, was 18 when we went to get her driver's license. I explained to her about that little red heart and organ donation. Her words were, 'Wouldn't it be amazing to save a life?'

Three years later, at 21, Shayna developed an ear infection that led to an abscess on her brain. She became an organ donor.

Victor received her lungs and has met several grandchildren because of Shayna's gift.
A 21-year-old woman, someone Shayna's own age, received her kidney and pancreas. She has had more time to discover her dreams.

A 36-year-old woman received her other kidney and liver. She has had more birthdays, more ordinary days and more time with her family.

Shayna was also able to give a unique gift. She donated her hands. A 68-year-old grandmother is able to feel the warmth and connection of her loved ones again, or simply brush her teeth.

My daughter's love did not die on Sept. 14, 2016. It has multiplied in those who received her beautiful gifts and in their families.

Shayna will forever be our hero."

August is National Multiethnic Donor Awareness Month (NMDAM), a collaborative effort to save lives and improve the quality of life for diverse communities by fostering a positive culture around organ, eye and tissue donation.

Why is NMDAM needed? 60% of patients on the national transplant waiting list are from multicultural communities. The need for donation and transplant is more pronounced in minority communities where disproportionately higher rates of diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease contribute to organ failure, especially kidney failure. You can find resources to share and read more about NMDAM at nmag1.org 💙💚

“My husband received his heart from his donor hero eight months ago! We are forever grateful to his donor and donor family. We have written a letter, and I hope to meet our hero’s family one day! 💚💙 We are forever grateful!

Shawn’s health started deteriorating fast in May 2025. We were in and out of doctors’ offices because he was so sick. They did X-rays and saw what they thought was pneumonia in one of his lungs. He would be treated with antibiotics and go back to the doctor, where they did another X-ray and saw there was now pneumonia in both of his lungs.

I took him to his cardiologist. He was still really sick, and I noticed he was gaining weight. He was retaining fluid at this point. He spent a week in the hospital, where they pulled 80 pounds of fluid off of him over the course of his stay. He was released, and three days later, he was back in the ER with severe abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. They kept sending him home with no answers as to what was going on.

After several trips to the ER and numerous doctor visits, we were finally referred to a specialist 3 1/2 hours away from home. He was monitored for several days when he started having bad reactions to the medications he was hooked up to because his heart could not handle it anymore.

We were told he had days to live if they did not intervene that day. The doctors discussed his case and decided ECMO was what needed to be done. He went on ECMO that afternoon. It started the process of saving his life.

He was on ECMO for five days, and we received the call at 2 a.m. on Nov. 1 that there was a heart available. They had done extra testing and believed it was a perfect fit! Surgery was at noon that afternoon, and he was back in his room around 7:30 that evening.

It was the scariest time of our lives, but because of our heart hero, he is here! Since his transplant, he has been able to be there for a couple of senior nights for our oldest son. He was able to watch him graduate high school. He has so many more memories to make with our family because of his heart hero!"

“Two years ago, my only option was hospice. I was in liver and kidney failure with no hope.

Then my miracle happened. I was approved for the double transplant list on May 3, and just four days later, my miracle began.

After more than 12 hours of surgery, I walked out of the hospital one week later, and my next chapter began.

Today, I live life to the fullest, share my journey and raise awareness about organ donation.

Thank you to all donors. I wouldn’t be here without you. I honor my donor every day, and I hope all of you who have received your miracle do the same. Together, we can inspire others.”

“I am a liver recipient, and I cannot express the gratitude and humility I feel for all donors. It’s been 17 years since my transplant, and I have gotten to see my son graduate, join and excel in the Navy, get married and have three children. I’ve traveled to Italy, Alaska, Mexico and closer to home. I remarried and feel treasured by my husband. I had the privilege of taking care of my mom in her last years alongside my brother.

I have had many ups and downs in those 17 years, but I’m so thankful someone decided to donate their organs so I could be here to experience those moments and make all those memories with family and friends.

Unless you have had a transplant, waited on the transplant list and come so close to dying but didn’t, you cannot know what it feels like for someone to donate. It truly is a life-saving, life-changing gift, and it leaves you feeling so humble. It’s a glorious feeling.

Bless all the donors and their families. It truly is a gift.”

"I lost my son at age 26 on July 26, 1990. He was an organ donor. He had a malformation of blood vessels that we were unaware of.

He was a veteran, firefighter and paramedic. He was also a devoted husband and father to a 3-year-old daughter and a 15-month-old son. He is deeply missed."
