We appreciative the family of cornea donor hero, Betty Hafner, for their kind $500 donation in her memory to our organization.
Her family has taken comfort in knowing that apart of her legacy lives on in donating to help heal others in need.
We shared about the gift with our staff and our Family Services Supervisor recalled speaking with her husband during the donation process.
I remember our conversation vividly, “He shared that their last trip together was four nights of bliss and occurred just two months before her death. They were married for 48 years and owned a business together in their hometown in Brenham, TX. She must have been an angel on earth from the way he loved and spoke about her, even in his pain of loss.”
Monetary contributions to eye banks are tax-deductible and help fund various programs, research, equipment upgrades and operations related to restoring sight through corneal transplants.
