Jonathan “Jonny” Wall

After a construction incident snapped Jonny’s ACL, he received a donated tendon to repair his damaged tissue. “My donor changed my life forever. Without their precious gift, I wouldn’t be able to build a life for my daughter and myself,” says Jonny.

Thanks to their donor families both sisters are thriving as young adults. Alexis says, “I feel if it wasn’t for my donor family, I wouldn’t be here today.” Amber agrees, adding, “Thank you so much for our lives.”

Anthony “A.J.” Burgess

A.J’s mom, Carmellia, says “We have seen a major change in A.J. since his kidney transplant. He was bedbound before, but now he is able to do normal toddler activities. We can’t thank his donor family enough for A.J. having a normal childhood.”

Hu says, “Our family’s story is unique. I am thankful transplantation was an option for my brothers and I. We are a very close family and laughter always abounds when we are together; laughter that wouldn’t have been possible without our donors.”
