Carla Gallegos
Organ Donor
/March 7, 2025
Carla, our sister and aunt, was so loving, kind and generous with her love, heart and all that she had. She welcomed all those in need of love, warmth, comfort, food and care. Our Carla loved puppies and always had two or more in her home; she was always with her sweet puppies! We miss her dearly and love her even more for donating to those in need — a true gift of life! Our Carla will live forever in our hearts! Love you, my sweet Carla!
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.
