Deborah Cook, 67, has been living with pulmonary fibrosis for many years. A proud grandma of three, Deborah started using oxygen in 2011 and found Norton Thoracic Institute at Dignity Health St. Joseph’s in 2017 where she’s been receiving treatment to manage the disease. She’s even taking extra steps to keep her lungs as strong as possible by exercising, participating in St. Joseph’s weight loss program, and receiving music therapy lessons in her hometown of Prescott. With a newfound sense of hope, Deborah has begun writing music again and performed this piece during a clinic visit to show her gratitude to her medical team. While Deborah isn’t in need of a lung transplant right now thanks to the care she’s getting at Norton, there is still a possibility in her future. April is Donate Life Month and today is National Blue and Green Day. Please, share Deborah’s song to help us celebrate all the selfless individuals who give of themselves to save the lives of others.

"Larry Castrovinci lived his life for the service of others. Right after high school he joined the Army. After that, he went straight into law enforcement, where he excelled to the rank of commander.⁣
🔹⁣
Even in his untimely death, he gave everything he could. His heart, liver and kidneys went to three different individuals. He passed away in December 2018, four days after his 51st birthday. I can’t help but think what a beautiful Christmas present he gave to the recipients and their loved ones.⁣

He is a husband, father, grandfather, son, uncle and brother. He was an inspiration in life and in death."⁣

At Donate Life Day at the @Dbacks 14-year-old #heartvalve recipient Heather Jauregui threw the first pitch. Thanks to the generous gift of an organ donor, her heart still beats strong today. “It is impossible to express how grateful we are to the donor and their family." pic.twitter.com/MeEpO9fwem

He was leaving when he had a second thought. He told the transplant team he would donate his liver anyway — to any patient who needed it. Thank you @TODAYshow for the inspiring story about an altruistic #livingliverdonation. @KeckMedUSC #DonateLifeMonth Registerme.org/today

  • The then 4-year-old Gabriella Vega had just started to experience life when doctors recognized a murmur in her heart. Multiple tests showed Vega had an enlarged heart and two other heart conditions. Vega would eventually go into heart failure without a transplant.⁣ 💕⁣ After 97 days on the waiting list, she received her gift of life and quickly resumed her life as a healthy young girl—growing into a healthy teenager.⁣ 💕⁣ Her mother, Kristi Vega Gutierrez, found a new appreciation for people who selflessly chose donation.⁣ “You can’t take your organs with you, but they can give new life to someone in need,” she writes on “Gabriella’s Heart,” a blog about her family’s connection to donation. #PediatricTransplantWeek

  • Thanks for sharing the importance of donation! 💙💚 #Repost @lipstickandlifesaving · · · It’s National #bluegreenday in honor of Donate Life month this April! 💙💚 Organ donation is something I commonly work with, and also something people don’t talk about too often. PLEASE have those uncomfortable conversations with your family on what your end of life wishes are. 🌠 There is nothing worse than being at the bedside and seeing a family struggle SO HARD with whether or not their dying family member would have wanted to donate...and unfortunately people end up opting to not donate simply because they never had that conversation...that patient could have potentially SAVED up to 8 other people. Organ donation is a huge gift to others, and seeing an organ recipient wake up for the first time with a new heart or new kidney makes it all worth it. 💙⠀ .⠀ I talk about common organ donation myths in the link in my bio you should check out! The most common one I hear that I want to educate you on is this - “if they hear I’m an organ donor, the doctors won’t work as hard to save me”⠀ THIS IS COMPLETELY AND 100% FALSE ❌⠀ Your body is not even considered for organ donation unless one or the other criteria are met:⠀ 1: Your heart has stopped (aka ur dead)⠀ 2: You’re brain dead (you’re also dead, this is irreversible)⠀ So basically what I’m saying is you’re dead before this conversation is brought up by the healthcare team. You’re not comin’ back. So why not give other people who still have a chance...a chance? 🌱⠀ .⠀ Who’s a registered donor out there like me? 🙋🏻‍♀️ If not, please read the link in my bio to get some more info. The link to register is on that page as well. 💚💙

  • O’esha Reese passed away unexpectedly in November 2010. The 35-year-old professional chef was a basketball fan and a loving father. O’esha certainly made his mark on the world in life. After passing, his family’s generous decision to donate means he helped heal and improve the lives of at least 27 people through his gifts of his corneas and tissue. This #BlackHistoryMonth, we remember O'esha and all our donor heroes. Sign up. Save lives. DonateLifeAZ.org

  • "In December 2015, our family suffered the greatest loss any family can face. We were told that our beautiful, vibrant 19-year-old daughter, Zoey, would never recover from the coma she had been in for the last 10 days. Despite extensive testing, the doctors could not tell us what had caused the coma. In the midst of our devastation, we made the decision to donate Zoey’s organs...We will miss Zoey and her big laugh and love of life every single day – our hearts will always have a hole in them. We hope that telling Zoey’s story will raise awareness both for Urea Cycle Disorders and for the importance of organ donation." #DonateLife #organdonation

  • "Addison Auza gained her angel wings at the age of 11, in December 2018. She died from a severe brain bleed caused by an Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM). She was a sixth grade student who loved reading, listening to music, playing her guitar and dancing on her performance dance team. She loved animals, especially lambs. She was a member of 4-H, and was a brilliant lamb showman. She always had a smile on her face, a joy to be around, was a hard worker, loved life and was kind to everyone she met. She leaves behind her parents, a younger brother, grandparents, cousins, family and friends. As her last act of selflessness as an organ donor, she has saved the lives of four individuals so far, and we hope she will help others in need." Register in Addison's honor to celebrate her gifts of life. ❤️ #Linkinbio #DonateLife #LiveOnAZ

  • Ja’Leisa White-Newhouse gave birth to her second child Aug. 29, 2018, and became Donor Network of Arizona’s first birth tissue donor—an option that started in June. She signed up because she learned she could heal people. 🍼 After a child is born through a scheduled C-section, trained medical staff acquire birth tissue. Doctors can use donated tissue to stimulate a recipient’s healing mechanism for pain, inflammation or scar tissue. 🍼 “Donation was something very touching to me and I wanted to help people,” White-Newhouse says. 🍼 In 2018, there were 14 generous mothers who donated birth tissue. Learn more about birth tissue donation at BirthTissue.DNAZ.org! #linkinbio
  • This past month, the selfless gifts of 26 donors gave 78 individuals another chance to live, breathe and play with their loved ones. We are continuously humbled by this generosity. 💙💚 #DonateLife #SignUpSaveLives #generosity
