For All the World to See
February 7, 2017: We work with the most incredible donor families who generously and heroically provide the Gift of Life to others.
Some of these donor family members decide to volunteer with our cause, seeing a need to educate the public about the importance of organ and tissue donation while sharing their testimony.
One of volunteers we are tremendously blessed to know is Jennifer Banks Wilson.
Jennifer’s daughter, Holly Bunting, passed away when she was 8 years old following a car accident in Lake Butler. Holly saved four lives through organ donation, and she impacted countless others through tissue donation.
Jennifer and her family have been committed to attending LifeQuest events over the past five years since Holly’s death, but over the course of the last two years, Jennifer has further dedicated herself to the cause.
Jennifer dyes her hair blue and green, Donate Life colors, every few months, and she had Holly’s artwork tattooed on her arm as a sleeve.
In a recent interview with First Coast News reporter/anchor Jeff Valin, Jennifer explained why she chose these dramatic ways to get attention for organ and tissue donation. Tens of thousand of people saw the TV news story when it aired a few days before what would have been Holly’s 14th birthday. Even more are watching it online. You can, too.
