Nick Barbaro Jr.
Organ Donor
/September 20, 2022
My son Nick was an organ donor. He got his wings on September 20, 2022. Since his donation we have been blessed to meet and establish a relationship with the recipient of his heart. John Kelly is an amazing young man, and we are so glad Nick helped him continue his life. We love Nick and John so much! May God continue to watch over Nick and continue to heal John. 🙏🏻❤️
Saying thank you
Many donor families find that corresponding with the transplant recipient or recipients can be a powerful experience. Donor families can take comfort in sharing stories and sending well wishes to those who live on because of their loved one.
Should you choose to connect, we're here to help. Letters and cards can be a tremendous gift to both the donor families and recipients. To protect everyone, we provide guidelines for communication. Names remain confidential unless both parties agree to share those with one another, and we provide a correspondence address. We are happy to share sample letters to help you get started.
