Organ Donations
Ebony, Oct, 2005 by Mary A. Ingram
I was so touched by the article, "Organ Donations: The Power Of Second Chances" (July 2005), in the Health and Fitness Section. The article really hit home. My husband received a second chance last August after having a heart transplant at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He has done very well ever since. I can understand the pain and suffering each of the families had to endure, as well as the joy of getting the phone call from the transplant coordinator to tell you they found an organ.
There are some people who don't know that heart transplants are possible. Whenever my husband tells someone that he has one, they immediately related it to bypass surgery. Then he explains hat he actually has a new heart and they are in disbelief! A significant need exists to teach people about organ transplantation, and we want to help spread the word.

Again, thank you for such an excellent article. I am sure you have opened the eyes and hearts of a multitude of people. This gives those who are in an avenue to improve their health and live fuller lives with their families by seeking organ transplantation. And it encourages all others to consider being an organ donor.
I am so thankful of our second chance.
