https://livingdonorsonline.org/donor-experiences/donation-anniversaries/We hope these memories shared of gifts of life offered bring joy to all. We understand not all are joyful, and our sympathy goes out to any experiencing long term suffering as a result of setting foot on the path to donation. People enter for many reasons, and all who do so are worthy of our recollection and care. So few of us actually succeed and become donors, and almost universally we wonder what all our anxiety was about beforehand. Very, very few of us are surprised by unpleasant possibilities of our own or our recipients’ unsatisfactory outcomes, be they medical, personal, relational, or economic. Regardless of outcome, we entered with open hearts to give the gift of life to others. Thank you all!
