Gift of life stories
Tony
Organ donation stories weave us together across the country. Tony of Parker, Colo., never would have imagined sharing such a special bond with a woman named Robin who lives in Texas. Robin’s daughter, Sicily, was the heroic donor who gave Tony the gift of life. He received her heart and kidney. Robin turned the pain of losing her daughter into an opportunity to save and heal lives through organ and tissue donation.
“I’m eternally grateful to them and all other donor families,” Tony said. “Thanks to my donor (Sicily) I’m finding joy being able to do simple things that most people take for granted.
Rhonda
When she was 17 years old, Rhonda was diagnosed with severe juvenile diabetes. Then in her 30’s she was put on dialysis as her kidneys began to fail. In October of 2000, Rhonda got the call she had been waiting 18 months for – someone she didn’t even know made an end-of-life decision that would give her life a second chance.
“I know my donor changed the lives of many others that same night in October of 2000 with her gifts,” said Rhonda. “I think of her and thank her every day.”
Rhonda has been touched by donation in more ways than one. In 2022, her husband passed away and had made the decision to give the gift of life.
