Heart, Kidney & Liver Donor
/March 23, 2023
Jayden was five months old when he, his mom Cali, and dad Toby were in a tragic car accident. Jayden was able to be a heart, kidney and liver donor. Losing my daughter and grandson has been a tough journey, but knowing Jayden helped others gives me and my family strength.
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.
