HonorBridge

We are devoted to building connections that save and heal lives through organ and tissue donation.

01/05/2026

Did you know?? Less than 1% of registered donors actually become organ, eye, and tissue donors after they die.
Every registration matters because we never know whose life could be saved or healed. More registered donors = more chances to honor someone’s decision and give hope to patients waiting.
Learn more about donation and how to sign up to be a donor at honorbridge.org.

💞A Full Circle Journey: How Donation Shaped Every Chapter of Penny Loy’s Life
“I wanted to work in donation because that was my passion. I had no medical background, but when a position opened at what was then the NC Eye Bank, I applied. The only reason I was qualified is because I truly understood what families were going through. It happened to me. I felt connected to the donation world, to those on the waiting list and those struggling with kidney disease. I knew this was what I was meant to do, and 17 years later, I’m still here.” —Penny Loy, Communications Specialist for Miracles in Sight (tag Miracles in Sight)

“Junior was a good person. He loved his family, going hunting, fishing, and spending time with his grandkids. Junior was a hero for being a donor. He was unselfish because he thought about others, by giving them a chance and a better life.” —Wanda, Donor Wife

"After I received a letter from HonorBridge, I gave them a call, and they were able to tell me about all the tissue grafts and the heart valves that he’d been able to donate. Hearing about all the people he had helped made it bearable, because I didn’t want his death to be for nothing.” --Kristi, Donor Mom

“In the darkest hour of your life, you feel something unexplainable within you, knowing something so sacred is happening in that operating room. And it was performed with such tender, loving care. They played Disney songs for Norah all night, and her precious nurse held her hand throughout her operation. It carried me through that sleepless night: the love, the hope, the prayer that another family was going to be saved from this pain. On my most unbearable days since, I would often put my hand to my heart, and remind myself that hers was still beating, too.” —Erin, Donor Mom

“Someone had to pass in order for me to live, and I try to take that weight with a sense of gratefulness. After my transplant, I tried to prove myself worthy of the gift.” —Brandon Kerrigan, Pediatric Heart Recipient

💙“With HonorBridge, I always felt like there was somebody in my corner. I didn’t feel alone. Our family support coordinator drove all the way out from Chapel Hill to be with us for my son’s Honor Walk. Once she got there, she was so calm, and very soothing. Being able to go with my son to the operating room was a critical piece for me. I don’t think I could have dealt with his death as well as I have without having had those last moments to say goodbye. I even sang Puff the Magic Dragon to him. I sang that to him when he came into this world and I sang to him when he left. And the HonorBridge person was right behind me the whole time.”🐲 –Bunny, Donor Mom

Sometimes, the most meaningful gifts don’t come wrapped in boxes ❤️ In 2019, Catherine gave her friend Deb the ultimate gift: a second chance at life.
“She could have lived on dialysis, but that’s not really living. It’s about giving someone quality of life.”
Today, both Catherine and Deb say the gift went both ways.
“Life is precious,” Catherine shared. “You see the beauty in everything. It’s a gift.”
