Donation process

After giving birth to twin girls, Shannah's heart failed. Her only hope for survival was a heart transplant. Thanks to the kindness of a stranger, Shannah received her heart transplant in 1997 and can now enjoy spending time with her daughters, Kailee and Kiana.

From Tragedy to Triumph

The process of organ and tissue donation begins with an individual's commitment to share the "Gift of Life." This single decision helps to bring something positive to a tragic situation. There are many people involved in making the process of donation and transplantation a success, but without the heroes of donation, the individuals waiting for a transplant will never experience the triumph that comes from receiving the "Gift of Life."
