At the beginning of every month, we honor those who have given the gift of life and healing through organ, eye, tissue, birth tissue, and blood donation as part of our Trees of Life ceremony. Leaves have long been symbols of new life and renewal, and that is why we have five variations of leaves that represent a donor and the type of gift he or she shared. The individuals honored in this video donated in the month of September, and for each name read a leaf is hung in their honor. We close each ceremony with a quote, "When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another." — Helen Keller To learn more about our Trees of Life program, visit our website: https://www.connectlife.org/who-we-are/trees-of-life
