Iowa Donor Network’s Donor Family Care Program
At Iowa Donor Network, we understand that saying goodbye to a loved one is difficult and everyone’s grief journey is different. The role of our Donor Family Care program is to offer support and resources to meet the needs of each donor family member, regardless of their relationship to the donor or type of loss they have endured. Our Donor Family Companions offer a listening ear, facilitate correspondence between donor families and recipients, offer updates as to how a donor’s gift(s) impacted others, and provide information on available grief materials and support groups as well as notify families of up-coming donation related events.
Our family has been deeply impacted by organ and tissue donation. As a donor family we find comfort in the lives our daughter touched after her death. Iowa Donor Network has helped us continue Micaela’s legacy of love and helping others long after her passing. What a beautiful way to honor a life so loved and deeply missed."
