Ida, Donor

Her gift would bring so much joy...

My mom was born legally blind and wore very thick glasses all her life. Having to wear thick glasses brought her embarrassment and low self-esteem. When she passed in 2001, as an organ donor, a request for her eyes was done. I gladly said yes, and I know she couldn’t have been happier that someone was going to be able to use a part of her that caused so much pain, but would bring so much joy for another person.
