Donor Patricia Gardner (Left); Recipient Kathy Mathis ( right)

I need to praise God and thank Jesus Christ in this moment for a successful transplant on April 9, 2024. His provision allowed for a life saving and life changing surgery for me and two others in my recipient chain. My donor, Patricia, is also doing well and healing wonderfully, Glory to God, and I pray the other two donors are as well.

Again, through God’s provision, I had the blessing of a live donor. However, had Patricia not come forward, I faced a 10 year wait on dialysis for a potential deceased donor, or the alternative of a very harsh decline and short life. Have you ever considered becoming an organ donor? According to Dr. Todo, my transplant surgeon, only 60% of Americans are registered organ donors. It so happens that April is Donate Life Month. Take a look at the link below to learn more about the miracle of organ donaction.

Thank you for your prayers!
