I have a copy of the letter of thanks sent to my step father from the elderly gentleman who received his heart.............
I've always wanted to contact the gentleman to see how he is doing but privacy laws prevent the organization that administers these things from releasing his information........I hope he is still alive.
YOu can contact the organ donor program that was used and tell them that you’d like to contact the donee.They will forward your letter to the recipient and the recipient decides if they want personal contact, or if they would like to communicate through the organ donor org.
When my husband died suddenly 4 yrs ago, he was kept on machines for 4 days in order for all the donations to be lined up. I know he wanted to donate, he even thought far enough ahead to have it put on his driver’s license (which no one from the hospital thought to check, but my word was acceptable). I still wonder though if I did the right thing, making him stay for those days. Of course, it helps a lot to believe in God and know that my husband left us the second the bullet entered his brain. Gotta remember to include God in the decision-making process!
You should try to contact the person. That’s so awesome that your brother was able to provide a life for someone!!
