The Gift of a Heart

I’ve never seen such a beautiful light inside my camera. The light of gratitude of receiving a heart.

I’ve always known that it was an amazing idea to become a donor organ because I majored in Biology at St. Catherine University, and I also saw it on TV shows like Grey’s Anatomy. But I had never actually met an organ donor recipient until I met Katie White.

Katie White is an incredibly talented business owner of Katie White Designs. She started making earrings when she was hospitalized at Mayo Clinic while waiting for a heart transplant. The super crazy thing is that the heart she ended up receiving on May 15, 2022, was from Kaylee who also had made jewelry for a living!

Thanks to a heart donation Katie gets to continue spreading love and positivity through her unique and colorful earrings. She gets to care for her two dogs Rye and Daisy, be with her husband Jason, and travel the world together! Are you a heart donor? If not, what is your fear?
