Share Your Gift of Life Story
Your Story Matters
The Gift of Life Stories project brings awareness to the great need for organ donation and the miracle of transplantation, and we need your help!
A collection of personal testimonials, this project welcomes everyone who has been touched by organ, tissue, and cornea donation including: transplant recipients, friends & family of recipients, donor family members or friends, patients and family/friends of those on the transplant waiting list, family/friends of those who have lost their life waiting, and living donors. Our goal is to include at least one participant from each of Kentucky’s 120 counties. Advocates from all states are welcome as friends of Kentucky.
