Our friend and fellow community manager, Alex was recently blessed with the ♻️ Gift of Life ✅️ that he'd been waiting for since ages. He's an inspiration to us all, and an amazing (now) 2-time 🧡 kidney 🧡 warrior. Alex managed to stay positive throughout the grueling waiting period while on nasty dialysis. I wonder why his infectious smile is more prominent since 5 days ago. 🤔😊 . Alex was transplanted at NYU Langone in New York city.

Please send Alex and his loved ones lots of love, best wishes, positive vibes, and prayers for smooth and complete healing.🙏

💙 #DonateLife 💚 It saves lives.

#OrganDonation + #Transplantation = #Miracles 💯 (like Alex)

National Donor Day is a time to focus on all types of donation – organ, eye, tissue, blood, platelets and marrow – by participating in blood/marrow drives or donor registration events. It is also a day to appreciate donors and loved ones who have given the ♻️ Gift of Life ✅️ , have received a donation, are currently waiting or (unfortunately) did not receive an organ in time.

I was blessed with a heart from an amazing donor hero almost 11 years ago (4/20/2015). I'm here today because of the Gift.

#OrganDonation + #Transplantation = #Miracles 💯

Let's all encourage everyone to register to 💙 #DonateLife 💚

Being a lucky, blessed, and grateful heart recipient, I really try to raise awareness about heart health in general. After being diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) in 2008, and after several procedures (including open heart surgeries, thanks to an organ donor, I was blessed with a heart (my Gift of Life) on April 20, 2015.

Heart disease is still the #1 cause of death in the 🇺🇸. So, let's all please get involved and make heart health a priority. Heart disease doesn't discriminate at all. Someone has a heart attack approximately every40 seconds! I survived a massive heart attack 2008.

Throughout the month of February, I will post materials related to heart health, including information about the risk factors etc. Uncontrolled blood pressure is one such risk factor. It is extremely important to monitor regularly and manage our blood presure to avoid strokes and other cardiac events (along with other diseases). Please download the blood pressure log and try to track/monitor. (See link)

Please feel free to comment about your experiences related to heart health.

My name is Daisy Friedman, and I'm a small bowel, liver, and pancreas recipient. I had Short Gut Syndrome as a result of gastroschisis and then went into TPN-induced liver failure. I received my transplant over 19 years ago in Omaha, Nebraska, and have been fortunate enough not to have needed another transplant since, and have had very minimal complications.

I live in New York City and make films mostly about chronic illness and disability in an attempt to raise awareness and build community about life after transplant and how to live a full life with long-term illness. So excited to meet everyone here and make some connections! :)
