Our family attended Donor Network of Arizona meetings and honored those who died and donated...

My Mom, Joan Baile, donated her skin and eyes many years ago. The same week my sister, Svana Baile, died and we donated her skin and toe*. Her toe gave someone a new thumb. Our family attended Donor Network of Arizona meetings and honored those who died and donated. My dad,Dennis Baile, spoke at the gathering. I have congestive heart failure at 57, survived 2 heart attacks so far and C.O.P.D. When I die, anything usable please take to make someone’s life better.

*Donor Network of Arizona is the federally designated nonprofit organ procurement organization for the state of Arizona. We strive to make the most of life through the gifts of organ and tissue donation. Specialty tissue and research donations are coordinated with one of our partnering organizations and require further authorization. Such donations are not typical but, through generosity, can support unique medical interventions and therapies.

    I did want to add, if I may. When my Mother Joan and sister Svana, died in the same week. Their skin was donated to graft healthy skin for people who suffered terrible Burns. Sometimes organs aren't usable due to the health of the decedent, but there are so many ways, through tissue and organ donations that You can truly make a difference in Someone's life. I know my heart will not be usable due to C.H.F., and two Heart attacks but all of my other organs are healthy. I did not think I would qualify as a Donor, having a weak heart, until my Mom and Sister died. I attended, with my Family a Donor Network Luncheon. I learned so much. I was brought to tears by a Father of 5 younger children, who spoke that day. He was only Alive because of the Extremely, Generous Donor Family, Who Gifted him twice. First With a Healthy Heart ❤️ Secondly, Five Children Still Have a Daddy. Please Consider Becoming a Donor. You Will Touch Familes In Far More Many Ways than you could Imagine.
