It’s been a while since I’ve done a blog post. It has been a busy summer, and the past several weeks have been dedicated to prep work for my “real job” as a special education teacher. The beginning of school is always hectic, and this year more so as my school moved to a brand new building!!

Anyhow, I’m very excited to share Thomas’s story with everyone. I met Thomas’s mom, Sarah, through one of my anencephaly groups. I was excited when Sarah shared with me that her son was also able to participate in donation for research! At the time, she was the ONLY other parent I had heard of who had a baby donate for research. I enjoy speaking with Sarah and love hearing her desire to promote and bring awareness to donation. She is a huge encouragement to me.

Sarah graciously has shared Thomas’s story on Purposeful Gift. We hope having multiple stories of donation will encourage families and show the amazing impact and power that donation can have.
