    "Receiving a letter from the mother of a little boy that received part of Will’s liver meant the world to us. "Nothing can bring our son back but knowing the difference he made gives us some kind of solace. My only wish now is to hear from all the other organ recipients."

    “My sister passed away 5 weeks ago, age 24. Very sudden and unexpected. She had a donor card since she was 14, so we knew exactly what she wanted. We received this letter just in time to be read out at her funeral yesterday. Bittersweet.” #organdonation

    "My son Jack became a life-saving organ donor at the age of 18 saving three lives. "We love and miss Jack every day but donating his organs felt like the right thing to do, we hope the recipients are doing well and are now living a better quality of life thanks to Jack."
