Lacey Felder, also known as “Lucky Lacey,” received a heart transplant at just 18 months old from a baby boy named James. Years later, her brother gave her one of his kidneys—two extraordinary gifts that shaped not only her life, but her purpose.

Lacey began sharing her transplant story at the age of 8 and became an early advocate for organ donation, helping raise awareness and support the creation of Donate Life California. For more than a decade, she has worked in the donation and transplantation field, turning her lived experience into lifelong advocacy.

Today, she is honored to serve as Senior Program Manager at Donate Life California, the very organization she once helped advocate to bring to life. Through continued storytelling and education, Lacey lives fully in honor of her donors while inspiring others to register, support donor families, and help change the lives of those still waiting.
