Thank you for all of the graduations made possible by a donor. 💙💚
When Carson was just 2 months old, he was diagnosed with Biliary Atresia, a liver disorder developed shortly after birth. Six months later, his family's prayers were answered when their son received the gift of life from a donor. 18 years later, Carson’s is doing great and he continues to honor his donor hero, Elijah, throughout life's milestones. Recently, Carson's mom Rhonda shared a sneak peek of their graduation photo session and wrote the following note:

"Our son, Carson, is graduating from high school in a few weeks. He had a liver transplant when he was 8 months old. We got a sneak peek of a photo session & we had just to capture him in his regalia with his scars.

To Elijah’s precious family,

How do you say thank you for the gift of life? How do you say thank you for the opportunity to witness countless firsts we didn’t think we would see when our son was waiting for his new liver when he was only eight months old? How do you say thank you for the simple gifts of day-to-day life we will never take for granted? We have hopefully taught Carson to honor Elijah’s precious gift of life. Carson was once self conscious of his scars, but no longer. Scars are proof of his journey and survival.

Love, Grateful parent"
