“I can experience more freedom rather than being connected to a machine for 10 hours a night”

Dear Donor Family,

I am writing to thank you for the organ donation from your loved one. I am very sorry for your loss, and I want you to know that your gift has given me a chance to live a normal, productive life.

I needed a transplant because I had an end stage disease and was on dialysis for 5 years.

Since the transplant, I have been able to not be on such a restricted diet, and experience more freedom rather than being connected to a machine for 10 hours a night. You and your loved one made it possible for me to experience that.

For this, I am forever grateful to you and your loved one. My family and I will always remember your act of kindness and generosity. I will cherish my gift for the rest of my life.

Thank you,

Your recipient
