"The Transplant Games of America was a healing experience for me," says donor mom, Christina C. "I loved being part of an event with people who are full of compassion and love. Everyone wanted to hear my story about my son, Christian, and everyone wanted to tell theirs. Thank you, Kaci Alvarado, for taking this journey with me. Thank you for being compassionate, validating and understanding through my grief. Thank you for continuing to be an inspiration in the dark. Naomi Whitaker, thank you for capturing this memory for me to remember." We would like to give a special shout out to Shannon Lenox, LifeGift Family Support Coordinator and donor mom to son, Roy, for also representing the LifeGift team at TGA and helping to build this beautiful connection. #DonateLife #TGA #TGA2024 #TransplantGames #TransplantGamesOfAmerica #Birmingham #GiveHope #Hero

What an incredible experience it is to listen to your loved one's heartbeat....beating through someone else's chest. 💙💚 Monica Emerson, mother of donor hero, Jordan, describes the feeling as "truly amazing." She and her family had the chance to meet Jordan's heart recipient, Dave, and his family. As Monica listened to her son's heart beating inside Dave, she says it was strong and made her feel extremely blessed. When 25-year-old Jordan Emerson lost his life due to complications from a snowboarding accident, his family made the decision to donate his organs, eyes and tissue. Monica says they did so in hopes it would provide others with a second chance at life.

The LifeGift community honors the life and legacy of U.S. Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee. Her unwavering dedication to advocating for others has left an indelible mark on our nation and the lives she touched. Congresswoman Jackson Lee served more than 30 years in Congress and represented the 18th Congressional District of Texas. Congresswoman Jackson Lee was a beacon of hope, and her efforts in being a voice for the voiceless will continue to inspire and guide us. "She was a giant, and her voice will be missed," says Kevin Myer, LifeGift President and CEO. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family, friends and all who were privileged to know and work with her. May her legacy live on through the continued fight for equity and justice she so passionately led.
