Erica “Fish Fairy” Walli
When Anchor Point woman Erica Walli, 49, lost her life in an ATV accident, her family learned that she had a rare blood type, and saw hope in Walli’s choice to be an organ donor.

Jason Thompson
In 2024, Jason was critically injured in a fall and rushed to the hospital. Sadly, he could not be saved. In that moment of loss, a chaplain reminded his family that Jason was a registered organ donor.

Robert Kelly
At the age of 35, in early 2024, Robert suffered a brain aneurysm and was rushed to the hospital. As his family gathered, Lizetta learned that her son was not going to recover. She also discovered he was a registered organ donor — and had the potential to save lives.
