Cory Calcagni
Organ Donor
/March 5, 2018
Cory was a fun kid. Great sense of humor and very caring. I was a busy executive in Silicon Valley. Coaching two sports. I had a lot of kids and adults pass through my house. My wife and I helped anyone in need. Cory had a problem, no matter what his parents did. He could not kick it. On March 5 ,2018, he became my Angel Donor. His family and mine are very close. I am so glad that they answered my letter.
