Our 26 year old son, Caleb, was an organ donor. He suffered a cardiac arrest as a result of a fall brought on by a grand mal seizure. His anatomical gifts included heart, lungs. kidneys and liver. When we received the Miracles In Sight blanket, we were made aware that his eyes were also making life better for someone else. His grandmother is legally blind, and she was very happy to think that Caleb’s gift could help bring sight to someone.

Caleb signed up as a donor of his own accord. We didn’t give it much thought until the moment in the hospital when we were informed that he would not recover. We agreed to his organ donation. The process gave us a more positive closure. Knowing that he was bringing a better quality of life to others, gave us peace. Having more understanding of the donation process, makes us desire to become organ donors as well.

Caleb loved helping others. He cared for older people and those less fortunate than himself. He had a Great Pyrenees named Luna that he cared for and walked often. He played football from the 3rd grade through college. He was Green Bay Packer fan. He was a great son, brother and friend to many. He had a great sense of humor and loved children. He always took the time to play games with them and make them feel special. He will be greatly missed.
