Anthony Phillips
Organ Donor
/March 28, 2026
Baby Anthony was born 3/26/26 and became a donor through the choice of my husband and I. He didn’t get to live a long life, just making it to two days old, but he will live on through the gift of life he was able to give. He gave his heart to another baby and although he never came home, we are at peace knowing we were able to give another family hope for their little one
Saying thank you
Many donor families find that corresponding with the transplant recipient or recipients can be a powerful experience. Donor families can take comfort in sharing stories and sending well wishes to those who live on because of their loved one.
Should you choose to connect, we're here to help. Letters and cards can be a tremendous gift to both the donor families and recipients. To protect everyone, we provide guidelines for communication. Names remain confidential unless both parties agree to share those with one another, and we provide a correspondence address. We are happy to share sample letters to help you get started.
For more information about corresponding with recipients, please call us at 615-564-3649.
