Reaching Out

The decision to write to the recipients of your loved one’s gift of healing and life is personal. For some donor families, writing helps with the grieving process. Others have no desire to write at all.

Donor Network of Arizona supports the right for donor families and transplant recipients to engage in mutually acceptable forms of communication.

For more information about writing to your loved one’s recipients, contact Donor.Families@dnaz.org.
