Jason was a father to three kids, a dedicated husband, and an overall great man. After his passing, he became an organ and tissue donor.

Most people have two healthy kidneys (although it's possible to be born with one and live a healthy life!)

ConnectLife's mission is to educate the community, inspire donation, and connect lives. Take a look inside all that happened in 2023.
