Sandy Johnson
Tissue Donor
/February 22, 2024
Sandy received a kidney in 2020. She had dedicated her live to EMS and saving others. Although she was not able to donate her organs due to health reasons she was able to donate her tissue. We miss our sister terribly but hopefully she was able to enable someone to have a better quality of life.
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.
