Each year, the lives of thousands of men, women and children are saved or improved through the generous gifts of organ and tissue donors. The miracle of transplantation would not be possible without the generosity of donors and their families. Legacy of Life Hawai’i offers support to donor families in the hospital and ongoing support through our aftercare program.

 

This section explains how our Family Services Program offers ongoing support to donor families. Gather ideas about how to honor and commemorate a loved one by making a quilt square for Hawaii’s Donor Quilt, find information about how to write to transplant recipients, learn about annual events like the Donor Recognition Ceremony and Hope for the Holidays Grief Workshop, and browse additional resources available to donor families. Don’t forget to view our “Stories” page to read moving stories of organ and tissue donors who leave a legacy of life for others, as well as moving stories from recipients.
