Kelvin Rodriguez of Passaic never spoke a word, yet he shared love in every smile, giggle, and expression. Born with significant medical challenges, Kelvin was eventually diagnosed with the rare TBCK syndrome, but his condition never defined him.

Surrounded by the unwavering love of his family, Kelvin thrived in his community, graduating from North Jersey Elks Developmental Disabilities Agency (NJEDDA) in Clifton and leaving a lasting warmth with everyone he met.

When Kelvin’s health declined, his family faced the unthinkable. Through their grief, his mother Lizvette made the courageous decision to move forward with organ donation. Kelvin’s kidneys were transplanted, giving others a renewed chance at life.

“He had been through so much. If he could help someone else, that’s how we wanted him to be remembered,” Lizvette shared.

"Conor was an only child for almost 4 years until his sister came along. We wondered if he was a giver or not. It took quite a while but Conor did learn to give to others as he grew into adulthood.

During his short life, Conor had to get a new driving license 3 times. Each time, he put down that he wanted to be a donor. So it wasn't just a one time thing - he truly wanted to be a donor and give to others.

We are so proud of Conor. Five people are walking around now who just a short while ago were on the verge of dying. And their families have been spared the grief that losing a loved one brings.

We recently received a letter from one of the recipients of Conor's kidneys. It was such a beautiful letter and made us so proud of Conor, our Beautiful Boy."

-Thomas M., father of organ donor Conor

My son Vincent was 43 years old—full of kindness, and an unwavering willingness to help others. Helping others came naturally to him, so discovering that he was a registered organ donor felt like the perfect reflection of who he truly was. Through the donation of his heart, liver, and kidneys, Vincent gave others the incredible gift of life—one final act of kindness that captured his generous spirit.

His laughter, his love, and his compassion live on—not only in the lives he saved, but in the hearts of his children and everyone fortunate enough to have known him.

There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of him. I miss you and love you, Vincent.

Love,
Mom

"Big Mike was a personality that filled a room with love and laughter. March 3, 2025 was an ordinary day. Mike had put in a full day of work and came home seemingly to be fine. After 30 minutes home he was in distress. He was rushed to Beth Israel in Newark, where we prayed he would wake up and come home.

Days later, scans showed brain deprivation and recovery was unlikely. That’s when we met Kim from NJ Sharing Network. Mike had listed Organ Donation on his license. Though I thought he’d be disqualified due to his heart, we were told he could donate his liver and kidneys. In the worst experience of our lives, hope was given to us that Mike could help save many lives. After every effort, he was unable to donate.

We were extremely disappointed, but the fact that he wanted to be able to donate made him a hero to us.

He would have been honored to help anyone in life in any way possible. He was that kind of person. He was a volunteer Fireman for many years and did many other acts of kindness throughout his life.

He is missed tremendously and was taken too soon at 59. Our hearts are still broken and healing but NJ Sharing Network has been with us even since we got the sad news and they continue to keep in touch with us by checking in, making phone calls, and sending emails and letters letting us know that Big Mike still matters.

They helped to make a horrible life experience at least a little more hopeful and for that my family is eternally grateful. I am grateful NJ Sharing Network still honors him as a donor in spirit!"

—Kimberly S., wife of Mike

Donor mom Alice Gorczycki Walsh recently shared why she contributes to the Sharing Network Foundation—to honor and remember her son, Connor, and his legacy of paying it forward for others. Through her giving, Alice helps strengthen clinical innovation, care for donor and transplant recipient families, and broaden education and awareness around organ and tissue donation—extending hope and saving lives.

As she shared so beautifully, Connor lived by this simple truth:

“Be the power to many and always do good.”

As we close out the year, we’re reminded that generosity creates legacies that continue to change lives.

On January 1, 2026, the 137th Rose Parade will step off along Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena, featuring the Donate Life Float and its powerful message of hope through organ and tissue donation.

Each year, the float features memorial floragraphs, portraits created from organic materials, honoring donor heroes who have given the gift of life.

This year, the float will display the floragraph of Lilyanne “Lily” James of New Jersey. Just three years old when she and her mother, Denise, tragically lost their lives in a car accident, Lily saved the lives of two young children through the donation of her heart and liver, and an adult through the donation of her kidneys.

Lily’s father, Craig, shared: “Choosing organ donation was a way for Lily’s generous spirit to live on. I know in my heart her mom, Denise, would have made the same decision.”

The James family’s visit to Pasadena is proudly sponsored by the Sharing Network Foundation through its employee giving campaign. “We are honored to stand beside Craig and his family and to continue honoring Lily’s legacy of love and life,” says Amanda Tibok, Executive Director of the Sharing Network Foundation.

Watch the making of Lily’s floragraph and see the care and love that goes into honoring donor heroes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NccjO0hvk5c

Tune in on January 1 at 11 a.m. EST, to see the Rose Parade broadcasting live nationwide on ABC, CNN, Fox, NBC, Telemundo, and Univision. 🌹 💙💚
