Martin Sanchez: Cornea recipient

Martin's first cornea transplant was in August of 1993 and his second in May of 2009. “I started to educate myself on ways to improve my life, body, mind and spirit. The gift of new sight from someone I never met and didn't know gave me such a deep sense of gratitude. This gratitude led me to return that kind of love to others — strangers and those who I never realized were in need.”

Martin volunteers at a children's hospice and answers phones at a suicide crisis hot line. “This entire experience has benefitted my community, my family, friends, and my job. All have received as a result of my regaining sight.”

Thank you to all who give, whether it is a donor, donor families, medical staff or organizations like SightLife and those who run it!
