Behind the scenes of an organ donation PSA - and a moment we’ll never forget. 💛🎬

Donor dad Ron Sachs gave his daughter Aimee’s childhood ball and glove ⚾🥎 to her liver recipient, Kris Vanni. Deeply moved, Kris said, “I’ve been looking for a sign,” and gifted Ron and his eldest daughter, Sam, the transplant pillow she received at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville signed by her nurses and doctors 🏥✍️💙

These are the moments that remind us why organ donation matters. Legacy. Gratitude. And love that keeps moving forward.💫

It is the individuals in need who motivate us and the selfless donors who humble us. We are a founding member of Donate Life Florida, a state-wide alliance of organ, tissue and eye recovery programs and other organizations interested in encouraging life-saving donation and increasing donor designations.

LifeQuest is one of the nation’s 58 non-profit organ procurement organizations (OPOs). As an OPO, we partner with each hospital in our 36-county region of northern Florida to facilitate the donation process, to ensure that the family of each potential donor is compassionately offered the option to give the Gift of Life, and to honor all individuals’ donor directives. With more than 113,000 people on the national organ transplant waiting list, including more than 5,400 in Florida, our vision is for a transplant for every patient in need...
