Dear Friends and Family, you may or may not know 25 years ago our daughter Alison was born with a rare genetic kidney disease. She was a miracle because at birth they told us she could be stillborn. At age six it was determined that she would need a kidney and liver transplant because the disease had now affected her liver. After searching the country for the best transplant center and surgeon we moved our family to Miami. She had multiple complications, 5 months in the ICU but was given the gift of life of a liver and kidney that has given her 19 years. Transplantation as we were told early on is never a cure but a treatment that may not last a lifetime. For the last few years Alison’s transplanted liver and kidney has been failing. Today Alison’s doctors in Miami have decided the time has come to list her for another transplant. Because of all the complications she has encountered the doctors feel it is a multivisceral and kidney transplant that would be the only option. This would mean she needs a liver, stomach, pancreas, intestine, bowel and kidney. We are extremely grateful the doctors are giving Alison this option. This is actually a surgery that this transplant center and surgeon has done close to 300 times successfully. Alison has made the final decision and she wants to live. Our family is asking for your support and prayers. We have begun working with the Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) again. We partnered with COTA 19 years ago and raised over $150,000 for COTA in Alison’s honor; however, we have reached the point where we will need to fundraise again. Luckily Alison’s partnership with COTA is for a lifetime, and 100% of funds raised assist with transplant-related expenses. Please consider donating to COTA in honor of Alison and share this post with your friends and family. You can make a tax-deductible donation here: https://cota.org/campaigns/COTAforAlison

#Flashback to one of the most AWESOME post-transplant milestones I've had - climbing a mountain (specifically Enchanted Rock, my "white whale"). Getting to the summit marker of that giant granite stone stirred an unbelievably incredible amount of powerful emotions, none of which I'm able to fully describe - to this day. It's something I'll keep with me forever. #becauseofanorgandonor #endthewaitinglist #endthewait #donatelifetexas #lifegift #transplantlife #butstillbreathing (at Enchanted Rock State Natural Area - Texas Parks and Wildlife)

#Repost @dyann ❤ ・・・ When I was a little girl I remember my dad reading us a letter about how my mom helped save someone by donating her organs/tissue after she passed away. I remember feeling happy that she lived on in some way, even though I was so young. A few weeks ago I realized there is a family out there that will be getting a very similar letter about how their loved one saved my dad. Where ever they are they will read that their son, father, brother, husband, and/or uncle saved a life. I hope they somehow feel peace and comfort knowing a part of them has given life to not just my father, but the many, many people he calls family and friends... because there are a lot of us. Today, I feel this great sense of responsibility to both my father and his donor's family and friends. Being a donor is more than saving a single life. It is every life that person knows and loves that is also saved. Gratefulness, thankfulness, relief, and enormous responsibility to fully live life are just a few of the words I can use to describe this moment. My mother was a donor and my father is a recipient, and many lives have been impacted by the gift of life through donation. And for everyone out there, if you're not a registered donor, I urge you to become one. We have learned that our father was one of the lucky ones. There are so many more people out there waiting for a life saving organ, in fact, most of the people on waiting lists die waiting. It's so easy to register as a donor and anyone can register!

(#angelswait) "Today is Angel's 14th birthday and today she was discharged. Two weeks ago, my daughter received the best gift anyone can ask for: a second chance to breathe. And not to just breathe, but a second chance to really live. #becauseofanorgandonor my daughter can sing without having to catch her breath between lines. Two weeks ago we were anxiously waiting to hear news if the bone marrow also matched when the lung transplant doctor walked into the room and asked Angel if she was scared. She nodded yes. He said, 'Well, you should be. If you're not then you don't belong here.' He looked at me and asked the same question. Was I scared? No. Was that a bad thing? Before THE CALL, I had come to some sort of acceptance that Angel would not ever be transplanted. Maybe it was my way of coping with the inevitable. My daughter was no longer living — just existing — chained to an oxygen concentrator. I had been watching this awful lung disease slowly kill my child for over two years. It was a nightmare. Angel's wait for lungs is over but now her transplant journey begins. And I know she'll go on to do great things. She'll make her donor proud.” – @the_waitinglist contributor Sara Boston of Reading, PA. Sara’s daughter Angel received a #lungtransplant on September 24, 2015.

Remember my crazy self being duck-taped by my mom? Wel, this is the beautiful completed piece. ----- This past weekend, we were privileged to celebrate my parents-in-law's sixty wonderful years of marriage together. THIS was her wedding dress. She made the dress herself, down to sewing the tiny pearl buttons on the lace sleeves. When I found the dress tucked away in her closet, I squealed inside myself with joy. Being able to restore it and display it at their party was very exciting. Everyone there was able to see it's beauty and imagine how gorgeous she was in it on that day. That experience is now one of the highlights of my life. I am grateful that I have been able to be a tiny part of those special sixty years. I am grateful that they have shared their amazing son with me. I am grateful that I was able to be there Sunday to commemorate that milestone with my family. . . . #mountainousadventures #tinyvictories #gratefulfortoday #becauseofanorgandonor #endthewaitinglist #endthewaitlist #endthewait #butstillbreathing #donatelife #donatelifetexas #lifegift #anniversaries (at Jasper, Texas)
