Not long after his birth, Kaidyn was diagnosed with Biliary Artesia, a congenital process that blocks proper bile drainage from the liver. This condition causes rapid deterioration of the organ and transplantation is essential. Fortunately, at the age of one, Kaidyn received the gift he desperately needed. He is now active and healthy thanks to the magic of organ donation. Once again, more proof that organ donation works.

Alisha did save lives.
She was killed nearly two years ago in a car wreck. One kidney, both lungs and her heart all give life to others.
"Just to know that somebody else gets to live through a tragedy that you may have, is just an overwhelming feeling," Alisha's mother Sarah said.
Alisha's family met for the first time, a 64-year-old man who now has Alisha's heart.
