July 2023 Living Organ Donor Anniversaries
« on: July 03, 2023, 09:28:49 AM »
Best wishes to all remembering past milestones this month, be they successes in our shared adventures in altruistic action, or grief at tragedy that unfortunately accompanies us on our journeys. In July we particularly think of all those listed here. We are in awe of Barbara who donated fifty years ago! We cry, again, at the memory of Patti who never woke up from her donation surgery, and her husband/recipient staying with her daily, singing, for nearly four years.

Finally, we wonder about folks in the past eight years. Are social media media posts really sufficient memorial to the extraordinary acts we are party to? Please consider requesting we add your anniversary to our calendar at https://livingdonorsonline.org/donor-experiences/donation-anniversaries/. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Take care, all!
