I was amazed at the time to see Valentine\u2019s cards for aunties, uncles, moms, dads, sisters, brothers, the list was endless.\u00a0 So as Valentine\u2019s Day approached this year, I pondered who we could focus on this year.<\/p>\n<p>Love is expressed freely to those in our family, so we chose to remember Organ and Tissue Donors with thankfulness and gratefulness.\u00a0 They helped save the lives of our family members, friends and recent acquaintances.\u00a0 So simply put \u2026 organ and tissue donors are the real heroes in our stories. They gave our family member and friends a second chance at life &#8230; which is a gift that keeps on giving!\u00a0 Donors gave each of the recipients the opportunity to continue to love those around them, to experience life and to have a future.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we honour the donors and donor families of our transplant family and friends &#8211; look how much we have to be grateful for:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><u>Heart \u00a0and Bilateral lung transplant recipients<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2075\" src=\"https:\/\/hero777.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/HERO777__Recipients2019_Matthew-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"403\" height=\"403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hero777.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/HERO777__Recipients2019_Matthew-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hero777.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/HERO777__Recipients2019_Matthew-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hero777.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/HERO777__Recipients2019_Matthew-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hero777.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/HERO777__Recipients2019_Matthew-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hero777.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/HERO777__Recipients2019_Matthew-1080x1080.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/hero777.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/HERO777__Recipients2019_Matthew.jpg 1134w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 403px) 100vw, 403px\" \/>Matthew \u00a0Legemaate \u00ad- 1 year &#8211;
