Hats off to the above teamwork
A wonderful selfless act. He must have been a compassionate person.
Oh, my heart breaks for the family. My family also had to make the decision to donate my niece's organs. For me personally it was one of the most healing things knowing she had saved so many lives but I do often wonder how/where these people are.
Selflessness - the stuff of real heroes.
As a recipient of a heart just over two years ago I am eternally grateful for those who make this decision. I can continue to be a son, a husband, and a father to two small children.
My brother passed unexpectedly on 24th February 2015, he too donated his organs. His selfless act has helped us, as a family to know he breaths through another & has assisted at least four other recipients & their families last year. We would love to reach out to the recipients on his 1yr memorial but understand the sensitivity for some and respect their privacy but it's hard.... I know it would mean the world to mum & dad to meet them & would greatly assist in their healing. I wish there was a 'tick box' option to opt in for communication between families.
My deepest condolences to his family and friends on his passing. Organ donation is a befitting gesture to honour this young man. With much love to you all at his difficult time.
Feel sorry for the man and his family...life is unpredictable.
RIP!!! You r a real hero buddy...
these idiots will construct green corridors with lot of potholes. do practical and proper work rather than bs talk
Why drones flying at low heights in some Specific colour can not be used for Organ Transportation?
