Donate Life Blue & Green Day Photo Contest ✨Winner Spotlight✨ "GG’s mom, Melanie, had her first heart transplant in 1995. It was a great success for 27 wonderful years! When GG was just one year old, Melanie suffered a heart attack and ultimately needed another heart transplant, and a kidney transplant in 2022. GG got to keep her mama because of her donor, Elise. Elise was a young mother herself. She loved butterflies, so GG chose to add some special stickers to her cheeks in honor of Elise. We are grateful to Elise every day for being our family’s hero." πŸ’™πŸ’š Register your decision to be an organ, eye and tissue donor at RegisterMe.org
