In Kindergarten, Nicole and Anna were such good friends that they pretended to be sisters. But since Nicole donated a kidney to Anna in 2007, they "share" a kidney and the gift of life - a bond they feel is closer than sisters.

Donor Family Group
Our mission is to provide a unified voice for donor families who share their experiences of donation to improve the process and increase awareness of organ, eye, and tissue donation.
Members help identify new donor families to participate, are involved in planning donor memorial events, review and comment upon public education materials, and work with Donate Life Northwest to increase the representation of donor family stories and volunteers. If you are interested in getting involved please email info@donatelifenw.org.
If you are a donor family member living in Oregon, Washington, or Idaho and are interested in joining our Donor Family Community Group on Facebook, please visit www.facebook.com/groups/DonorFamilyCommunityGroup.
In November of 2020, the Donor Family group put on a virtual event to share memories and recipes to honor their loved ones. The result was a beautiful book of these memories.

It’s been one of the saving graces that my husband and I have – knowing that our son is still alive, and he is alive in four people.
