"My son, Michael, was a tissue donor. He was super sweet, very smart, and raising two young daughters on his own while working full-time. He struggled for years with depression and tragically passed away from an accidental overdose.

Through tissue donation, Michael has been able to impact at least 21 lives, including someone as far away as South Korea. It's incredibly comforting to know that others’ lives have been enhanced because of him." - Daniel R.

“I had a liver and kidney transplant in 2022. It’s an exciting but very emotional time. I cried a lot in the days post-transplant for my unknown donor and family (I got the call on Christmas Eve). My nurse said to honor this person and their family to just take care of myself and make the most of the blessing.” - Phyllis H.

Our community engagement coordinators and volunteers have been busy over the past few weeks! From the International Institute's Festival of Nations to the Infant Loss 5k to a Health and Housing Expo, they have tabled events and educated our community about the impact one can have as an organ, eye, and tissue donor.

Thank you to the International Institute of St. Louis, Infant Loss Resources, and the ULSTL for welcoming us at these events.

"We are so thankful and blessed for the gift of organ donation to our family. My mom and brothers have a rare genetic disorder known as Danon Disease. This genetic disorder led to heart conditions and eventually to them needing transplants.

My older brother, Eddy, had a heart transplant on October 5, 2013. Eddy was on the waiting list for 4 months. Although we do not know who his donor was, we know his heart came from Kansas.

Following this, my mom started to suffer from heart failure after my younger brother was born. She eventually needed a transplant and was able to receive her heart on May 4, 2024. She waited for 3 days for her heart.

Finally, prior to my mom’s heart transplant, my younger brother, Andrew, suffered from a stroke. This led to his heart failing. Andrew got his call on New Year’s Day and received his heart on January 3, 2025.

We are eternally thankful for the life-saving gift of organ donation that each of them has received. The selflessness of organ donors and their families has given my family life again." - Lizy L.

"I received a kidney transplant 15 years ago, and my husband’s organs were donated in 2019. Our family has been deeply affected by Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). In fact, my brother had to go on dialysis because of heart complications related to PKD. Sadly, I lost him the same year as my husband — just four months apart.

My father also passed away from PKD at age 71. Among eight siblings, four of us had PKD, including myself and two of my sisters who have received transplants. One sister had a liver and kidney transplant in Oklahoma City.

Both of my sons have PKD as well, and one recently was placed on the transplant list. I also have two grandchildren who have PKD.

This photo shows me with my husband before my transplant. I’ve done well with mine, and I truly wish more people would consider becoming organ donors. My son is only 50 and could really use a transplant. Our organs aren’t needed when we’re gone — please 'recycle' them and help save lives.

I hate this disease, but I am incredibly grateful for the generosity of organ donors who give families like ours hope." - Susan B.

“My daughter Darean Na'Kol was a donor in 2016. She passed away due to a car wreck but her son survived. I know she helped people with what she donated and that was a small comfort during that horrible time.” - Carrie B.

"This is me and my son a couple hours before my transplant. I had my heart transplant on December 4, 2017 at the University of Michigan. I had five open heart surgeries from the age of 7 days old to 22 years old before I got my gift of life from a generous donor." - Heather R.

"My dad passed away last month, and he was a tissue donor. He was an amazing man, always giving, always helping. He loved to volunteer and support those in need.

He was a deacon in his church, and outside of his service, he enjoyed golfing, bowling, and participating in activities at the local senior center. He was a great hugger and was loved by so many. I miss him deeply, but I take comfort in knowing that even in death, he was a giver.

My mom received a letter recently stating my dad was able to donate bone tissue and his corneas. I love this, because my husband has an eye condition that may eventually require a cornea transplant.

Thank you for helping to remember him and the incredible man he was." - Jen B.

"Alison Christine S. became a hero at the age of 23 on June 21, 2015. Alison had a beautiful singing voice, a deep love for books and reading, and worked as an accountant at the St. Louis County Library District. She was often heard by her coworkers singing on the job, and it was the perfect accounting job for someone with a wannabe librarian’s heart. ☺️

Alison loved to travel and was known for being smart, sweet, and thoughtful with the best sense of humor. She left a gaping hole in so many lives, but we are so proud of her decision to sign up for the organ and tissue donor registry. Her legacy lives on through the lives she touched." - Debbie S.

"At age 17, my daughter, Karsyn, was diagnosed with a rare cancer in the connective tissue of her liver called Sclerosing Epithelioid Fibrosarcoma. This cancer doesn’t typically respond to chemotherapy or radiation, and with the mass being as large as it was, it compromised her portal vein, which supplies blood to her liver. We were told her only option was a liver transplant.

On February 15, 2022, she was listed for a transplant. Just two days later, on February 17, we received the call, notifying us of a possible organ match. Karsyn was admitted that night, and by February 19, she had received her transplant.

Through one selfless, life-giving decision, my little girl was given a second chance at life — more memories, more love, and more time with us. While we have not been in contact with the donor family, Karsyn and our family will forever be grateful. We will live not just for herself but in honor of the life that made hers possible.

Our family has been touched by organ donation in many ways. In 2009, my sister-in-law was a donor, a childhood friend is a living kidney donor, and another friend is a two-time cornea transplant recipient. Through all of these connections, Karsyn, and I, along with many of our family members, are now registered organ, eye, and tissue donors.

We are forever thankful for the gift of life that organ donors give to families like ours." - Karrin W.

"My Aunt was a recipient of a bone marrow transplant and is the reason my whole family became donors. Additionally, my nephew's mother Jessica was a donor and was able to donate everything when she passed." - Kristen S.

Inspired by Life

At Mid-America Transplant, our mission is to save lives through excellence in organ and tissue donation.
