Anthony Gonzalez shares his middle name with his uncle Sam.

Anthony's parents, Audrey and Marty, were compelled to donate Audrey's placenta because Marty's brother, Sam, lives on through organ donation.

"When we were given this opportunity, we truly felt in our hearts that it created a special connection between Anthony and Sam that otherwise may not have existed. We hope this donation not only carries on Sam’s legacy, but also helps create a new one for little Anthony—one rooted in love, hope, and the gift of helping others."

"Dad did whatever needed to be done," said Roxane Schiebur about her father, Rich Roesener. "If he saw something that needed to be done, he just did it."

Rich lived with purpose. That included supporting his community of Cook, Nebraska, cheering on his grandkids, and, when his life ended after 83 years, giving the gift of life through tissue donation.

"Donating what we could from Dad has helped with our grieving process. We know that he would be at peace and proud of us for remembering his desire to help people. We miss him greatly, but it helps to know that parts of him live on."

Spontaneous. Sometimes inappropriate. Always full of life.

That was Regina Muldoon. A nurse from Omaha who loved music, animals and showing up for others.

"She really loved people," said Regina's sister, Patty, who worked with Regina in the ER early in her career.

So when Patty and the rest of Regina's family learned she could save lives through donation, there was no hesitation.

"It really helped us smile during that dark time. We sat, holding Regina’s hand, cheering on her organs, praying that her heart’s EF improved and that her lungs would be viable! Just knowing that there was someone out there receiving that news and getting 'that call' really, truly got us through those last few hours.

Like I said, Reg is still saving lives. Her new patients are now her recipients, and I pray she is watching over them."

Saturday is National Donor Day—a day we honor organ and tissue donor heroes and recognize their lifesaving and healing impact.

As we approach National Donor Day, we are proud to share that in 2025, more donors gave the gift of life in our state than ever before. Their generosity is estimated to impact more than 53,000 recipients.

The opportunity for renewed life is only possible because of the donors who choose to give life. We are endlessly grateful to them and their families.

"Having received a heart transplant at (just shy of age 74) has reaffirmed my conviction in the importance of diet and exercise. My transplant was necessitated by a non-lifestyle heart disease known as ATTR Wild Type Amyloidosis. Had I not been in excellent physical condition, attributed to my long-term commitment to daily exercise and a healthy diet, I would have never been considered for a transplant." - Jim Wagner, celebrating 4+ years with his new heart

"My new heart has taught me to live life with gratitude. Every day is a 'bonus' day I would not have had without the heart transplant. I am forever grateful for my donor family who generously agreed to donation when their own hearts were breaking. Without their gift, I would have missed many big family events - births, deaths, graduations, weddings. But I also treasure all the precious everyday moments - seeing my daughter grow up and start her own family, supporting my grandchildren at their sports and musical events, lunch with good friends, enjoying a favorite TV show with my husband, meeting new friends I would not have met without these 'bonus' years. Every day brings more reasons to be thankful." - Cindy Schabow, 38+ years with her new heart

This February, we are celebrating National Heart Month by sharing stories of recipients and what their new heart has taught them. ❤️

"My new heart has taught me how to be thankful for life, because I wouldn't be alive without it. I thank God that He had someone who was willing to give their daughter's heart to me. That is an opportunity that other sick people might have not gotten. Now I'm able to spread life to others, share a positive spirit wherever I go, and do and say things that will lift other people up." - Jeremiah Robbins, celebrating 13 years with his new heart

"My word for the year is Hope. My name is Modesta Flores González, and I am an organ transplant recipient whose transplant saved my life. Several years ago, my kidneys stopped working, likely due to the diabetes I have lived with for more than 33 years. I was on dialysis for eight years, and although I heard about the possibility of a transplant, at first I did not believe it was something attainable for me. I thought the wait would be far too long. With faith in God, I found the courage one day to talk about it with my mother. She was filled with joy and, from that moment on, never stopped praying for me. Thanks to God, my mother, and a wonderful person who, before passing, had the privilege of being a donor, I received a new opportunity at life. Today, I give heartfelt thanks to God, the donor, my mother, and my daughters, who were always by my side with love and patience. Nine years after receiving my transplant, I feel well and happy, knowing that there are generous people who, even in death, give life to others. Because of this experience, my daughters and I have decided to be donors when God calls us home. Thank you to everyone who shares information and promotes organ donation. 🙏" - Modesta Flores González, kidney recipient

"Mi palabra del año es Esperanza. Mi nombre es Modesta Flores González y soy una persona trasplantada de un órgano que me salvó la vida. Hace algunos años, mis riñones dejaron de funcionar, posiblemente a causa de la diabetes que he tenido por más de 33 años. Estuve en diálisis durante ocho años y, aunque escuché sobre la posibilidad de un trasplante, al principio no creía que fuera algo alcanzable para mí. Pensaba que la espera sería demasiado larga. Con fe en Dios, un día me animé a hablarlo con mi mamá. Ella se llenó de alegría y desde entonces no dejó de orar por mí. Gracias a Dios, a mi madre y a esa persona maravillosa que, antes de partir, tuvo el privilegio de ser donador, recibí una nueva oportunidad de vida. Hoy agradezco profundamente a Dios, al donador, a mi mamá y a mis hijas, quienes siempre estuvieron a mi lado con amor y paciencia. Después de nueve años de haber recibido el trasplante, me siento bien y feliz, confirmando que existen personas generosas que, aun al morir, dan vida a otros. Por esta experiencia, mis hijas y yo hemos decidido ser donadoras cuando Dios nos llame. Gracias a quienes comparten información y promueven la donación de órganos. 🙏" - Modesta Flores González, beneficiaria de riñón
