I want to thank Mr. and Mrs. Woodford for sharing their story of their son Matthew's death and organ donation.
Last year, I lost my daughter. When I arrived at the hospital, she was on life support and brain dead. She was gone and I was there to say goodbye.
The staff asked if she was an organ donor and she was able to donate her heart, kidneys and liver. When we learned it helped save four persons lives, it brought some tears of happiness amongst all the tears of heartbreak.
In a world where we wonder how just one person can make a difference in someone else’s life, just imagine what those four people felt when they received the phone call that an organ had been found for them.
Then take two minutes to register as an organ donor and make that difference. And perhaps bring a small ray of sunshine to your family during a difficult time. Imagine.
