My Nonprofit Reviews

When I got the original call that I was potentially a match, I was excited and ready to jump right in. There was never a question in regard to me donating or not. After the excitement wore off, the reality of the situation set in and I started to think about the process and all of the worst case scenarios. That was all put to rest when I started communicating with the wonderful staff at Gift of Life. The way each of them explained the processes and then answered any and all questions, even those that I thought were obvious was above and beyond. I was in a different situation that many as I was leading a group of high school students to Washington, D.C. right around the time that the donation was to happen. Again, Gift of Life was able to accommodate all of my student responsibilities with the donation day. Everything from setting up the nurse coming to my hotel room for the injections to making sure my husband arrived prior to donation day. The amazing staff extended into Georgetown University Medical where they made me as comfortable as possible and once again, walked through the process and answered the questions. Now that I have gone through the process, I can only assume that the same level of care was exhibited on the other side of the process for the recipient. I appreciate the continued communications from Gift of Life. They check in every couple months and genuinely take an interest in our lives. I have never meet any of these individuals in real life, but I would definitely call them all friends.
