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.

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.

We can only do it together
