Amber's Gift - Importance of being a Donor

Click here to read story and watch video.

My mom was on the local Las Vegas news tonight to relate the story of my sister Amber. For those who don't know, Amber died in a car wreck 13 years ago. She was only 17 at the time. Because she was a donor, they were able to give her corneas to two individuals who, thru my sister's gift, were able to see once again. Kind of neat to see they were able to share the story on TV.
