Lilly Dimas
Tissue Donor
/February 14, 2025
My mother was my hero. She was a registered donor; however she had a variety of illnesses and ultimately the only thing of value to donate was tissue. I’m proud that she was able to donate thst to someone in need. I pray that when I die, someone will be able to use some of my organs as well.
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.
For more information about corresponding with recipients, please call us at 505-843-7672.
