Michael Steven Moore: Cornea Donor

Michael struggled with depression for years, finally resulting with him taking his own life. His mother Melissa says, “It has been difficult. What has helped me with my grief is knowing that part of him has helped others to have a more fulfilling life.”

As a nurse for over 32 years, Melissa has worked in operating rooms assisting doctors with the transplanting of life saving organs. She’s so glad that her son indicated his donation decision by a heart on his driver’s license.

“That’s just the kind of person Michael was — very caring.”

Michael, shown here with his newborn niece, is responsible for “giving the gift of sight” to two individuals.
