ORGAN AWARENESS WEEK

Hi friends, Coleen here on the beginning of Organ Awareness Week in Canada. My husband and I moved here to Toronto from PEI 11 months ago to await transplant. There are currently about 70 people on the lung list at all times. There is no numbers on the list, it goes by matches on blood type, lung size, how sick a patient is.... Please think of us this week and seek out and sign a donor card and also let your family know your wishes. Thank -you!

It is true that heaven only needs you soul. Imagine, standing at the pearly gates with St. Peter and looking back on your life...the clouds part and down below is the scenes of many surgery's taking place where your body parts that you know longer need is saving 8 people's lives. What a beautiful legacy to leave behind!  God Bless!

  1. Coleen, I got goose bumps reading this post. For someone who claims not to be a writer you sure do have a way with words ...
    Ed and I continue to pray that your match will happen soon.
    Hugs
