Families of donors can make normal burial plans and great care is taken to allow families to have an open casket viewing if they wish. Throughout the entire process, your loved one is treated with care, respect and dignity.
There is no charge to the donor’s family or estate for any procedure, test or medical supplies associated with the donation process.
Reagan was born in 2005 with a rare congenital heart defect and needed several critical surgeries. Two days before her first Christmas, Reagan's heart could no longer sustain itself. Reagan was placed on a heart machine and her only remaining chance to survive was a heart transplant.
Finally, Friday the 13th of January, became Reagan's lucky day. Through the generosity of a donor family, Reagan got the new heart she needed. Now this beautiful young girl is growing up and loves playing with her older brother.
Reagan's mom Kelly says, "I am so grateful daily that the donor's family was so courageous. They gave life to us all!"
