To be on the receiving end of this amazing gift is life changing, but the journey to get there can be daunting. You pray for an organ to save your life, knowing it means tragedy and death for another family. A kidney or liver can also come from a living donor, if someone is willing to undergo surgery and have their healthy organ removed; a selfless gift to save another human. In this collection, 25 different authors share their stories of hope, kindness, despair, and healing. These transplant recipients, living donors, and donor families’ lives have all been changed because of organ donation. Each chapter will tug at your heartstrings as you read about people struggling to stay alive, and ultimately relying on the generosity of another human being, or the kindness of a beautiful soul and their grieving family. 650 0 $a Donation of organs, tissues, etc. $v Personal narratives 650 0 $a Transplantation of organs, tissues, etc. $v Personal narratives 700 1 $a Osterholm, Paul 941 $a 2 952 $l VJPB334 $d 20220602163743.0 952 $l VCPD034 $d 20211229010351.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FCE32020687411ECB4C74B9543ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
