Gift of Life 67 The Organ Transplant Podcast

In Episode 67 of Gift of Life – The Organ Transplant Podcast, we meet Yesenia Zaragoza — a proud Hispanic woman, a compassionate nurse, and a living kidney donor whose journey is as inspiring as it is impactful.   Yesenia’s story began while working with liver transplant recipients at Tampa General Hospital. Now part of the LifeLink of Florida team, her commitment to saving lives didn’t stop at the hospital doors. One day, while sitting in on a surgery, she overheard a conversation about living kidney donation — including how donors receive top priority if they ever need a kidney themselves. That moment led her to take action.   Motivated by the facts, her compassion, and her culture, Yesenia became a living kidney donor. In this episode, she shares her unique path to donation and how her heritage and profession both play a vital role in her advocacy — especially during National Multiethnic Donor Awareness Month.    Episode 67 is packed with insight, empathy, and a heartfelt call to action for communities of all backgrounds to say “yes” to donation.        Let’s Stay Connected:      Email: [email protected]  Website: www.giftoflifepodcast.com  Facebook: Gift of Life – The Organ Transplant Podcast  Listen & Share: https://lnk.to/GiftofLife      If this episode touched your heart, help us spread the message:  Subscribe and leave a 5-star review on your favorite podcast platform  Share Episode 67 with your family and friends   Together, we’re raising awareness, honoring donors, and celebrating new beginnings.
