“Alicia”

Alicia:

They were wheeling me down to surgery

Steve Lawson:

Alicia Foss from the Tri Cities had gotten the page.  She was on her way to a double lung transplant when

Alicia:

The nurse got a call from the surgeon  saying that the lungs were no good, and we were sent back home to wait.

Steve Lawson:

and wait.

Alicia:

I have been on the waiting list for almost three years now

Steve Lawson:

Alicia’s Mom Dianne and her Dad Jim are also waiting

Dad:

When she first got on the list we actually felt it was going to happen right away. The weeks go by and the months go by . . .  you don’t give up hope but it gets hard sometimes because you wonder, is this going to happen?  But you know, it has to happen . . . because you don’t want the alternative.

Steve Lawson:

How can you help Alicia?

Mom:

Some people have said to us that they’re not a registered donor because no one has ever asked them.  Well, I’m asking you as a mom.   Would you please consider registering your name as an organ donor?

Steve Lawson:

Please, register as an organ eye and tissue donor when you renew your driver’s license.  But what are you waiting for?  You can register right now at donate life today.com.
