#BeTheGift Connections

Imagine giving a priceless gift that costs nothing — a gift that not only changes lives but can save them. That’s the gift of organ and tissue donation.  And what better time to talk about it than during the season of giving. On the December #BeTheGift Connections: “A Season of Giving,” we share two special stories of giving and the impact it has on others. In this month’s program, Lisa Rousseau shares the story of her daughter Jessie Starnes, a 9-year-old, who left a lasting legacy of giving in her community and beyond. Amy Dodd, a kidney recipient and Kristi Jones, her living donor,  share their story of friendship and donation.  In addition, we talk about holiday traditions and the gift of life with Marth Rucker, a hospital chaplain with Ascension Saint Thomas Health.
