It’s hard to believe, but July marks the one year anniversary of Purposeful Gift. We are proud to say that over the past year, the site has doubled in size! It has been fun watching it grow and change as we add information, resources, new pages, and stories from families.

Since our launch we have been able to share about Purposeful Gift and neonatal organ donation through speaking engagements, Facebook pages, and word of mouth. We have also been featured in an NBC news article and mentioned on various websites. We have been asked to make rack cards for hospitals, had the privilege of working directly with OPOs from around the country and have been able to encourage numerous families pursuing donation.

In honor of stepping into our second year, we have decided to create a Facebook Page for Purposeful Gift. We hope this will be another way to raise awareness about the donation choices that exist for families facing a terminal diagnosis, and share the importance of donation in general.

Creating this site a year ago was a step of faith, but has become a ministry that we hold close to our hearts. It has been amazing to see how the Lord has used it to touch others. As we venture into our second year, we are eager to see what the Lord has in store. As we continue to grow, we would love to hear feedback on the ways Purposeful Gift has ministered to you, or be given ideas on how to make the site better. We are also always looking for new resources to add that can help families, and we are always interested in sharing new donation stories. We would love to hear from you. Feel free to contact us privately or leave a comment below!

Thank you for all the love and support!
