Day of the Dead celebrates those we've lost and reminds us that their memory lives on. In her piece "Give My Heart," artist Sean Wells showcases the ongoing legacy of love that is made possible thanks to donation. "Our senorita presents a rose as a symbol of her heart which she generously gifts - saving a life. Flowers growing lushly in her rib cage represent her organs. A playful Alebrije symbolizes the transference of life in donating an organ - that you live on in a new form." ~Sean Wells, Artist Give the gift of love and life.

Donor Heroes make the selfless decision to be a light of hope and healing to those waiting for lifesaving transplants every day. We are honored to celebrate their legacies. Donor Tribute: Anthony Lucero "My son was the most precious, loving, kind-hearted person. He unfortunately lost his life in 2023. He is very much missed, and there’s not a day or night that goes by that I don’t cry for him. It makes my heart smile knowing that someone in need will never feel the pain that I feel thanks to him. I love you as big as the sky, my coon bear. My hero!" Give the gift of life.
