Megan Bender

Donor Hero

“Megan was 37 when she died. Megan was a loving, happy and resilient child. She was independent and had a mind of her own. Megan was an old soul,” shared Judy, mother of donor hero Megan. 

“Sharing Hope approached me, but it wasn’t a difficult decision to have Megan as a donor. She always expressed her wishes to me and after she was declared clinically dead, I found a spiral book with her wishes in it, which included donating her organs. I want to donate my organs in passing as well so I was agreeable to her wishes. She was able to help four people continue on with life.  

I believe everyone should have the same perspective about donating organs. I received a beautiful letter from one of the recipients, who was so grateful for having another chance at life. Giving back life to those in need is an absolute blessing to all involved. Thank you all.”
