What is Donation?When 13-year-old Danni was killed in a motor vehicle accident, her family chose donation.
A 10-year-old boy and a 28-year-old woman received the gift of sight thanks to the generosity of Danni’s gift. Many more lives were touched through the family’s donation of bone. In addition, Danni was an organ donor.

Eye Donation
