CELESTE’S STORY

Despite facing life's challenges, Celeste remained a shining example of love and resilience. As a devoted mother of three, she tragically didn't survive the birth of her third child due to complications from placenta previa. With a warm smile and infectious personality, Celeste touched the hearts of everyone she met. On her 18th birthday, she proudly obtained her driver's license, symbolizing her growth and independence. Celeste selflessly expressed her desire to be an organ donor, hoping to make a positive impact.

Celeste's legacy lives on through the four precious gifts she donated to those in need: both of her kidneys, her liver, and her beautiful heart, which brought hope and healing to those in need.

While Celeste donated her kidneys and heart to anonymous recipients, her liver was donated to a family member who was on the waiting list at the time through direct donation. Celeste's legacy, a beacon of hope and inspiration, will continue to shine brightly for future generations, a testament to the lasting influence of her life.
