Saving lives together
“Since I received the gift of life for the second time, I’ve made it my purpose to give back to my community.”
Austin Lee is a two-time kidney transplant recipient, receiving his first kidney from his mother at age four and a second kidney through a Kidney Paired Donation program at age 21. Now he gives his time to help others as a patient care volunteer. Your support makes more lifesaving transplants possible for people like Austin.

Stories of hope
Your support makes our nation’s transplant system stronger, increasing the number of transplants year over year so more people like Brendan, Heather and David can live out their dreams.
The gift of life allowed Brendan to do something most take for granted: imagine a future. His double lung transplant gave him the ability to return to his passion for the outdoors, pursue a career and fall in love. To honor his donor, Brendan continues to fundraise for UNOS, telling his story and voicing his gratitude.
Heather has gained so much from receiving the gift of life — she graduated college, completed her first 5K, and lives independently. She also found a purpose! As a public relations major, Heather aspires to have a career inspiring others to become organ donors and recently joined UNOS as a Patient Services Assistant.
