Book excerpt: Because of Organ Donation Series: Book 2 Our children are as precious as the gift of life itself, so imagine when it's a child in need of a life-saving gift. Or maybe a parent is living their worst nightmare, but they choose to answer another family's prayer. If you had the power to be a hero as a living donor and save a child's life, would you do it? Almost 2,000 children are on the transplant waiting list, and the more than 500 children waiting for a donor organ are five and under. This collection of stories will give you a glimpse into pediatric organ donation and transplant. You will meet parents who never imagined their child would need a life-saving gift. You may find yourself empathizing with the family that had to make the incomprehensible decision for their own child to become an organ donor. You might cheer on the family member, friend, or complete stranger who wants to donate a kidney or a portion of their liver. Each chapter represents the amazing gifts that can come from organ donation.
