When June was younger, her brother, Brian, went into kidney failure. Her dad, a Navy Veteran of the Vietnam War, was able to be Brian's living kidney donor. After nearly 20 years with his donated kidney, Brian was in need of another transplant. Now much older, June was able to get tested to be her brother's living donor, and in 2005, June and Brian underwent a successful transplant.

Thanks to the generosity of June and her dad, their family had many more years with Brian, but sadly, Brian passed away from organ failure in 2014. Now, June is an advocate for donation, volunteering and competing in the Transplant Games of America. 💙💚

At age 25, Maria was diagnosed with Alport Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that causes progressive kidney disease. After two decades of battling the disease, her kidneys eventually went into complete failure. She was referred to the Mayo Clinic to begin the process of evaluation and placement on the kidney transplant waiting list. After a procedure to remove a mass on her right kidney, Maria started daily dialysis treatments. Her sister traveled from North Carolina to be with her and shared Maria's story on social media, asking friends and family to consider becoming a living donor. A cousin they had never met reached out after seeing the message.

Maria's transplant took place in June of 2022. The surgery was successful, and because of her cousin's generosity, Maria was given a second chance at life. "Today, I am blessed to be here, healthy and able to enjoy life again. My son will graduate from high school [this month], and I look forward to watching him build a beautiful future. This journey taught me that miracles are real, that family can arrive in unexpected ways, and that a single act of love can save a life." 💙💚

"I received a heart transplant as a child. I was very young when my family got the call that a donor heart was available, and that call changed the entire course of my life. My donor was Christian C. Because he was registered as an organ donor, and because his mom, Mary, said yes to organ donation in the middle of unimaginable grief, I am alive today. Because of that decision, I’ve been able to grow up. I’ve graduated. I’ve built a career. I’ve laughed with friends, loved deeply, and experienced milestones I never would have had without a transplant. Organ donation didn’t just save my life, it gave me a future.

When you register as a donor, you’re not just checking a box. You’re giving someone more birthdays, more ordinary days that feel extraordinary, more time with the people they love. I live every day grateful for the gift I was given. If you’ve ever considered registering, I hope my story encourages you to say yes." – Payton. 💙💚

Age is just a number when it comes to organ, eye and tissue donation. Back in February, at 100 years old, Dale "Duffy" Steele of Nebraska became the country's oldest organ donor, his gift of a liver allowing his generous legacy to live on. Last month in Pennsylvania, Peggy Fields donated her liver upon her passing at 97, giving life to a woman in Florida.

May is ! It's a time to celebrate the power of older Americans to guide and inspire us. Did you know that almost 50% of deceased organ donors are over 55? Don't rule yourself out to give the gift of life. Generosity is ageless! 💙💚 We can all help save and heal lives by registering online as an organ, eye and tissue donor at DonateLifeSC.org.
