My youngest daughter, Joelle, made the decision to be an organ donor on her drivers licensce at the age of 15 years old. I very wise choice on her part. on March 31, 2011 I found her past out in her bedroom. To this day I really do not know what happened to her nor the doctors.
Due to her unselfish choice she saved the lives of every available organ. One of her recipients recieved 2 of her organs. Heart is outside of Houston…..Jo’s heart was in Texas with Donald, so her heart really is in Texas. In Savannah, GA is where a kidney is now living and outside of Hersery, PA is her liver. Sandy (liver) was a perfect match to due her having blood several transfusions.
Do I wish my daughter was still with me? Yes but without her choice these men and women would have died. Jo was 24 years old with a bright future ahead of her. She had just graduated from college as a Pharm Tech. She has a position before Jo graduated. Jo had met the man of her life, with plans to marry. I miss her everyday!!!!
My advise to Trenton and his family thank in writing the person who saved your life. As a donor’s mother, I have new family members. I write to them. Someday I will go and meet “my new family members”. Take of yourself Trenton, you have been give a precious gift of life.

What a wonderfully inspiring account of how humans can make such a positive difference in a difficult situation such as this. God bless all that was involved in this story and all others who have gone through this type of situation. Very good to hear a positive human interest story, in a day where we hear so much bad coming from the human race.

He was very fortunate. There are many more people in need of transplants than there are donors. It truly is the gift of life.
