Today is National Father Daughter Take a Walk Day, a celebration of connection, love & the power of shared moments.

For Paul Thibodeaux, this simple act of walking his daughter down the aisle was anything but ordinary. As a two-time double lung transplant recipient, every step was a miracle made possible by the generosity of his organ donors.

Because someone said yes to organ donation, Paul got the gift of more time…more breaths…and the chance to walk side by side with his daughter on one of the most meaningful days of their lives.

💚 This is the power of donation. One decision can give a father more moments, more milestones & more memories.

We’re so grateful to Red Stick Mom & New Orleans Mom for sharing Savannah's powerful story!

She reflects on the life-changing gift of life. Savannah’s donor, Tyler’s family, turned grief into hope & gave her a future filled with possibility. Her journey serves as a powerful reminder of the impact that every registered donor can make.
