Lella’s Story – Lella is a transplant
recipient and a registered donor
When Lella was just 2 months old, she was diagnosed with a rare condition that affected her liver and was placed on the transplant waiting list. At 7 months old, she received her lifesaving and healing gift – a liver – from a heroic organ donor in Iowa. Now a teenager, Lella’s donor has given her a chance to find her passion for dance, go to her high school state swimming championships, and spend time with her friends and family.
Organ and tissue donation saved Lella’s life, all because someone like you checked the box and said YES to become a donor.
