Donor Families

"I can honestly say that I believe LifeShare actually saved my life through
​the loss of my son, Jayce, with all of their events and activites I still attend."

Paige Sheffield-Sherry
Donor Mom

Aftercare Program

​The year following the donation, LifeShare provides a variety of support services including: the outcome of your loved one’s donation, grief materials, surveys for feedback and participation in a celebration honoring your loved one. Additionally, we help facilitate correspondence between you and the recipients of your loved one’s gift.
 
LifeShare realizes transplantation would not be possible without the generosity of donor families.  A family's choice to donate or to support the decision of donation during their time of personal loss is truly a selfless act. We greatly appreciate your generosity and are here to support your family.
