Lane Garrett
Organ Donor
/February 26, 2022
Lane was a “giver.” He didn’t like anyone around him to be in need and believed he could help fix whatever anyone needed. He signed up to be a donor when he got his license at 16. Knowing his gifts of life changed the lives of others means so much to us as we go on living without him. #LivinForeLane
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.
