This week, find out more about organ donation from donor and recipient alike.

The stories of organ donation are truly amazing from both sides – those who have been donors, those who have received donations. Today, we have both. Debra Kitts is a donor mother. She was the mom of Dustin Kitts, a donor in 2000. She served on the Tennessee Donors Services Advisory Board, as well as the Donor Family Committee. Billy Jarvis is Public Relations Coordinator for Tennessee Donors Services, but he’s also a kidney transplant recipient circa 1991.
