During your recent surgery you received a gift of donated human tissue. Your tissue donor may have made the decision to donate while still alive, or the decision may have been made by the individual’s family because they wanted to help someone like you.
Donor families find great comfort in receiving a “thank you” note or letter from a recipient of their loved one’s gift. It gives you the opportunity to let them know how their loved one’s gift of tissue donation has helped to restore someone else’s life.
