#DonaVida. Espero que consideren seriamente la donación de órganos. Ha tenido un impacto positivo en mi vida y en el legado de mi marido Bruce. Por favor, permítanme compartir por qué:

Bruce’s authentic enthusiasm for his faith, family, and friends illuminated him. He served as a constant anchor for our family. He passed suddenly at the age of 56 on April 11, 2022, three years ago. Bruce was a registered organ donor, and when the phone rang after I returned home from the emergency room, I knew his wishes.

La donación de órganos no es un acto aislado, sino parte de un legado vivo. Es un testimonio del impacto duradero de un acto desinteresado, un recordatorio de que el amor y la compasión pueden trascender incluso las circunstancias más trágicas. El Legado Infinito ha añadido significado a su ya memorable vida. Sigue vivo en Cristo, en quienes le conocieron y en los necesitados. Siento una profunda paz al saber que he cumplido sus deseos.

What I did not know was how extensive the care services that I was to receive as the wife of a donor. Imagine the tender impact of receiving a letter from someone whose life was transformed by his gift. I received two letters, one from a man who received his cornea and one from a man who can now walk and even run due to receiving Bruce’s knee tendons. In the form of a donation, love stretches us beyond what we thought we could bear, inspiring hope and transformation.

Gracias a todos por leer esto. Tuve la gran suerte de que Bruce me quisiera y sé que apoya mi defensa de esta causa tan importante.

Con amor,

Brigitte Schmidt, esposa del donante Bruce Schmidt
