It did not matter if Dustin did not know someone’s name; he still wanted to help them if he could.  So, being an organ donor was his last living, thoughtful, loving gift to others.

Did you know that 29% of those on the national transplant waiting list are African-American, and that majority are waiting for a kidney transplant? ⁣

Michael has some encouragement for patients and families still waiting for organ donations. “Do not give up,” he says. “Be strong and don’t give up, because miracles do happen. God is still in the miracle working business!”⁣

Listen now at thegiftedlife.org and find links on our website to your favorite podcast apps. Episode 102 is the second of our two part series about Briggs Elliser, a pediatric liver recipient. The team continues the conversation with his mom, Brittany Elliser, and this time we focus on his personal journey and the heroes who have made his life possible through organ, eye and tissue donation. Brittany introduces us to donor mom, Olivia Hoblit. Her daughter, Trinity, is one of Briggs’ heroes. We find out how the families met, and how the Hoblit family is educating others about brain aneurysms by establishing the Trinity Love Hoblit Foundation. Sally tells us why we like hearing our name, and we honor Roger Winchester in our hero segment. #podcast
