Meet little Carlos “Carlitos” Alvarado — just 1 year old and already showing incredible strength. 💚
He’s been on dialysis since he was 3 months old and had to reach 10 kilograms before being added to the transplant waiting list.
"Despite the challenges, he is full of light, laughter and love - and he reminds us daily of what true strength looks like," says his mother.
Through it all, Carlitos shines with light, laughter and love. 💚

Ever wonder who organ donors really are?
It’s your neighbor. Your barista. That mom at drop-off. Ordinary people choosing to do something extraordinary.
You could be one of them.

All love saves lives. 🌈
Adison, an animal lover, lived with her girlfriend of five years and two cats before her passing. Her family described her as bright, curious and unapologetically herself. Adison’s final act was a selfless decision that transformed the lives of many.
