It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of cherished volunteer, transplant recipient, and friend Ana Gomez Szulta.

Ana brought light and compassion to everything she did, serving as a dedicated advocate for organ, eye, and tissue donation.

Her life was a powerful reminder of the gift of donation. Her voice touched countless lives. We are grateful for the time we shared with her and will carry her legacy forward with love and admiration.

Dell Children's Medical Center in Austin unveiled a new Tree of Life earlier this month.

The tree, which features butterflies to represent young donor heroes, had families show up from all over Texas in a touching ceremony.

We are also proud to say that TOSA's own Cara Ward, Hospital Services Coordinator, was one of the leads on this years-long project.

Thank you so much to the staff at Dell Children's for continuing to pour your heart and soul into the lives of our donor families and the monumental gift that was given to those waiting for a life saving transplant.
