Yolanda was in her early 20s when she started losing her vision. She was diagnosed with glaucoma, a condition that can lead to total blindness.

At 25, Yolanda’s situation had become so dire that she underwent emergency surgery to try to save her sight. Unfortunately, the surgery did not help. Yolanda later received the news that a cornea transplant on her right eye was her only hope for restoring her eyesight. Today, Yolanda is seeing the world again in a new way.

She says that her corneal transplant is the best gift she has ever received, and she is grateful for the support from her transplant surgeon, her local eye bank, and her faith. Above all else, Yolanda is grateful to her donor for giving her sight and the ability to live a full life. 💙💚

"My 23-year-old son, Christian, was an organ donor three weeks ago. He decided he wanted to be an organ donor right when he applied for his license. That was the last we thought of it, until last month when his life was tragically cut short in an ATV accident.

Six people got a new lease of life thanks to his gifts.

Christian loved old trucks, loud engines, and hanging out with his friends.

We know both his lungs went somewhere in Iowa — hopefully we are able to contact the recipient. Another recipient got a kidney. She is a local paramedic and now she’s going to get back in the classroom and help train more medics to get out in the field and help people. Christian has a connection with that.”

"It’s been a year today—Sept. 19. I wish I could put into words all that we have felt. The day you were called home was the day life as we knew it forever changed.

Four days later, on Sept. 23, you did your last selfless act by being an organ donor. We’ve prayed daily for the families entrusted with your gifts and pray that one day we will know they live on because of your love for people.

You grew up in a home trained to save lives—it was all you ever wanted to do. But being a mother called to your heart more. You impacted so many more lives than you ever knew. From today until we breathe our last, we will honor the life that was uniquely you and always speak your name. We all love you and miss you every day. Until God calls us home… see you later, kid—always in your honor."

“There is no greater gift than organ donation. Knowing it comes during another family's greatest loss is profound and does not escape me. Who am I to have received such a gift? I strive to live up to this honor every day and to take the best care of the lungs I have received.” - Suzan
