Suzette Juarez
Organ Donor
/January 11, 2025
Suzette was a 65-year-old woman who loved life so much. She loved everyone. She was a caregiver and a hippie. She wasn’t ready to let go, but she was needed home. Please think of her as the fun, hard working, comforting mom she was. I can still feel her arms tight around me.
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.
