"I'm a double-lung transplant recipient. I'm alive today thanks to my donor and their family. I wrote a letter, and I'm hoping and praying for the opportunity to thank them in person.

Thank you, organ donors."

—Leon G.

"I am a 67-year-old organ recipient. I received a lung transplant on March 29, 2026, at UCLA Health.

I am forever grateful to the people who made the decision to become organ donors."

—Sarah H.

"For my husband Brian and me, being organ donors was a no-brainer. The orange stickers were displayed proudly on our driver's licenses.

Brian was ill with a stroke and congestive heart failure during the last year of his life. He was in and out the hospital monthly and retired at the end of 2020 because of his health.

On Monday, August 16, 2021, he was released from the hospital again. At home, he went to get his phone to call his parents to let them know he was home. He fell and never got up.

I tried helping him up, but when I saw his eyes roll to the back of his head, I called 911. We live a block from a fire station, so the EMTs were there in moments. They worked on Brian for a half-hour, but he never woke up.

My organ procurement organization called about organ donation. They didn't need my permission because of the orange sticker and Brian's signature on his drivers license, but they asked a lot of questions about his health and told me that somewhere around 70 people would benefit from Brian's skin, organs (except his heart), even his eyes, despite cataract surgery on both of them years before.

This news comforted me and is a major reason for organ donation: not only does it help those who receive the organs, but it also helps the grieving knowing that someone is benefitting from their loved one's last gift."

—Lorin K.

"My brother passed due to an untimely death. We donated his organs through One Legacy and my Mom was able to meet the recipient of his heart. The other recipients didn’t want to meet but that’s okay, they were able to live longer lives with their children and that was a gift."

—Irene T.

This Pride Month, OneLegacy proudly stands with the LGBTQ+ community in celebrating love, identity, and the incredible gift of life.🌈

Everyone deserves the chance to give and receive the gift of life. Let’s honor diversity, advocate for equity in donation and transplantation, and continue building a legacy of compassion and inclusion.

"Our son Kyle passed away 10 years ago. He had signed up at the DMV to be an organ donor. He was 20 years old. We're so proud of Kyle for doing that, even though some family members were not happy with our decision. But it does help the forever grieving to know that others lived, breathed and thrived because of Kyle.

I'd also really like to thank OneLegacy for the two years of grief counseling we received. The counseling we received now helps us support others in their grief."

—The Iverson Family

We are incredibly proud to highlight this Op-Ed written by OneLegacy Ambassador and UCI Health nurse Marie Brandon about her son, Jacob.

Service oriented in life and after his passing, Jacob healed 132 people and inspires a nation to say yes to donation this Memorial Day.

‘Here for a good time, not a long time’ I wasn’t surprised to learn Jacob was a registered organ donor. He was the first to offer help to anyone.
