Volunteer activity. My oldest son became an organ donor in May 1996, 4 days after being injured in a car crash. He was a backseat passenger. His heart, liver, 2 kidneys, 2 corneas, and tissue were donated. As a donor mom, I've volunteered in various ways as an organ donation advocate for 25 years. I've assembled six donor family memorial quilts--the quilt squares are made by donor families. The quilts are publicly displayed at organ donation events and other community events. They're also on loan to donor families for their memorial events.
My son's liver recipient, "Pip" received his liver on Mother's Day and lived 16 years with it. Pip passed away in 2012 with congestive heart failure. I'm grateful to Pip and his family for allowing me to be part of their lives to this day. His wife sends me flowers.
