Posted by Sheila The main thing that has helped my other daughter and I get thru this is the fact we found out who the kidney recipients were due to news reports ... it was a father and daughter and was the first time a single donor has made the gift of life to two closely-related people. Although I haven't met them yet, it is such a blessing to really know what a difference Melissa's gift has made and how truly wonderful and thankful they are. God bless all the donor families and recipients. Sheila

I'm new to this forum, altho not new to transplants. My husband, Jim, was a tissue/eye donor when he was killed in a four-wheeler accident on April 2, 1995. He was 35 years old. This past June, my oldest daughter, Melissa, became an organ donor (kidneys & liver) when she was killed in an accident. She was just a few weeks away from her 21st birthday.
