Texas Thank-You Roll Call 💚🩵

If someone you love is alive today because of an organ donor, drop a 💚

If your loved one was a donor hero, drop a 🩵

If both...drop them both.

This is our chance to say thank you.
To honor the donors. To celebrate the lives saved. To remind Texas why this matters.

Every heart in this comment section represents a life touched by donation. Let's fill it up.

Bonus: Tell us their name if you want. Share one word that describes them.

Every 💚 and 🩵 in the comments is a reminder:
Donation works. Registration matters. Y'all in?

Fun fact that's actually mind-blowing:

Your heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, pancreas, intestines can save 8 lives. Your corneas can restore sight to 2 people. Your tissues can heal and improve 75+ more lives.

That's 83 reasons to register.

You don't have to be rich or famous or special to change the world. You just have to say yes.

But what if doctors don't try as hard to save me?"
→ Not how it works. Medical teams are legally and ethically bound to exhaust every life-saving option first. Separate teams handle donation.

"Won't my family get stuck with bills?"
→ Nope. Zero cost to donor families. Ever.

"I'm too old/sick to donate anyway."
→ Let the medical professionals decide that. You might be the perfect match for someone.

Did you know?​ After a healthy birth, the placenta and umbilical cord are often discarded — but these birth tissues can make an incredible difference in patients’ lives.​

Through birth tissue donation, MTF Biologics is able to create allografts that support wound closure for burns, traumatic injuries, and chronic wounds such as diabetic ulcers. These tissues may also advance research and help develop new therapies that save and heal lives every day.​

Every donation has the power to transform care — from birth to healing. 💙

Just days after giving birth to her son Micah in 2010, Brittany couldn't catch her breath. Doctors diagnosed her with peripartum cardiomyopathy...a rare pregnancy-related heart condition that would change everything.

Over the next several years, her heart continued to weaken. Dizzy spells. An implantable defibrillator. Six shocks in four years.

By 2015, she was in full heart failure and placed on the transplant waiting list, where she would spend nine months in the hospital and earning her Master's degree from her hospital bed while waiting for a miracle.

That miracle came in January 2018 when she received the call that a matching donor heart was available.

But life had more in store. Soon after her transplant, Brittany was diagnosed with Stage IV lymphoma. She fought through chemo and radiation, and by early 2022, she was declared cancer-free.

Then in December 2023, her son Micah (just 13 years old) was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and a rare genetic disease called Danon disease. He was placed on the transplant list, too.

Today, Brittany uses her journey to advocate for organ donation, and Micah has launched a peer-support network for teens navigating transplant and chronic illness.

One family. Two transplant journeys. Proof that saying YES creates ripples of hope for generations.

As the only tissue recovery agency located in the Rio Grande Valley we are proud to honor the traditions that shape who we are.
This fall, our team will create a Día de los Mu***os altar as a tribute to Hispanic culture and in remembrance of the donors and families who give the gift of healing through tissue donation.
We are honored to celebrate and share these traditions with our community.
