Because of Organ Donation

"""Organ Donation is simply the greatest gift one human being can bestow on another. The compilation of stories in the book Because of Organ Donation compiled by Brenda Cortez, shows the power and spirit of humanity on full display. The strength and courage of the organ donors and their families coupled with the immense gratitude of the recipients proves to be a powerful read. If you are looking to be inspired...look no further."" Simon Keith Author, Heart For the Game 2x heart recipient, 1 x kidney recipient First heart transplant recipient to play a professional sport www.simonkeith.com ""Mom was a librarian so I know children's books and can relate to Brenda's blend of soothing edutainment for kids to read and understand. Because of Organ Donation is another success for its collaborative collective storytelling that is amazingly innovative and awe inspiring."" Joe Lafferty Author, Justin Time: A Memoir of Faith and the Fight For Life Speaker, Organ Donation Advocate, Kidney and Pancreas Recipient ""Organ donation is the space where grief and gratefulness intersect. The generous heroes and their families who say ""yes"" to donation give hope to thousands like those in this book. You will be inspired by the lives and stories impacted by donation that Brenda put together here."" Patti Niles President/CEO, Southwest Transplant Alliance ""The collective voices of the heroes and heroines of the transplant community are the lynchpin of the organ donation movement. Whether recipients or donors and donor families, these stories reflect the best of the human spirit-generosity, unconditional love, and a deep respect and appreciation for life. Brenda Cortez and her fellow writers skillfully use the power of storytelling to change hearts and minds to save lives through organ donation.""
