Southern Legacy of Life- formerly ARORA

We restore lives through the recovery of organs and tissues!

Southern Legacy of Life (formerly known as ARORA) was established in 1987 to recover organs and tissues for life-saving and life-enhancing transplants. Our mission also includes providing accurate information about the donation process and to encourage Arkansans to register to become organ, tissue and eye donors.

This Women’s History Month, we proudly recognize Melanie Browning, Director of People Services at Southern Legacy of Life. Melanie leads with both expertise and empathy, overseeing teams that work directly with donor families. Her leadership supports collaboration and ensures families receive clear guidance during some of life’s most difficult moments. Through training, oversight, and advocacy, Melanie helps maintain the standards that make life-saving donation possible. Her work may not always be visible to the public, but its impact is profound. Today, we celebrate her dedication, leadership, and commitment to excellence.

💚 For thousands of patients waiting on a life-saving transplant, hope is everything! Behind every transplant is a selfless decision; someone who said “yes” to organ donation. This St. Patrick’s Day, we’re reminded that the greatest gift isn’t luck, it’s generosity. Register today at WeRestoreLives.org and help create more second chances.

“My transplant gave me a second chance at life.”

This World Kidney Day, Southern Legacy of Life is proud to highlight Chante’le’ Williams, a kidney recipient whose journey is a powerful reminder of why organ donation matters. Since receiving her transplant, Chante’le’s life has been transformed. With renewed strength, restored health, and a deeper appreciation for each day, she now uses her second chance to serve others. As an active volunteer with Southern Legacy of Life, she shares her transplant story throughout the community, inspiring others to say “yes” to donation. More than 100,000 people in the United States are currently waiting for a life-saving organ. On World Kidney Day, we honor stories like Chante’le’s and reaffirm our commitment to increasing awareness, equity, and access to transplantation.

This Women’s History Month, we celebrate Tasha Stanton, the Chief Financial Officer of Southern Legacy of Life. With nearly a decade focused on organ donation and transplant finance, and more than 18 years of experience in nonprofit and governmental accounting, Tasha ensures SLL’s financial foundation is strong, ethical, and sustainable. Her strategic leadership makes it possible for our mission to continue restoring lives through the recovery of organs and tissues. Tasha’s commitment is deeply personal: her passion for this work began when her uncle received a life-saving kidney transplant. That experience drives her every day to steward resources responsibly and maximize impact. Today, we honor her wisdom and integrity, because strong leadership behind the scenes means more lives saved on the front lines. 💙💚
