There are moments when love, loss, and legacy all meet in the same space. Recently, donor mom Kim Neal and both of her son David’s kidney recipients, Susan and David, were together for the first time. It was Ms. Kim’s first time meeting Susan and her husband in person, creating a moment in our Donor Memorial Park filled with emotion and gratitude.

In her own words, “I lost my child, and that hurts, but seeing his legacy unfold in these faces… I am forever grateful. Especially to say I am his mom.”
