Gift of Life 70 The Organ Transplant Podcast

from Gift of Life

Sometimes, life brings people into your path for a reason. On a recent visit to Tampa General Hospital, I found myself needing a ride — and that’s when I met Tammy Zettles. As I climbed into her car, I noticed a Donate Life sticker on her window. That simple sticker led to a powerful conversation that I’ll never forget.   Tammy is a donor mom. Her son, DJ, passed away at the young age of 21 — a tragic and heartbreaking loss. But in the midst of that unimaginable grief, DJ gave the ultimate gift. He was an organ donor who saved and enhanced many lives.   In this special episode, Tammy joins us to honor DJ’s life and legacy. With grace, strength, and love, she shares his story — not just the story of how he died, but the story of how he lived. She reminds us that behind every donation is a family, a heartbeat, and a love that continues to ripple through the world.   I’m proud to now call Tammy a friend, and even prouder to welcome her to the Gift of Life family. DJ’s light continues to shine through her words and her advocacy.    You don’t want to miss this touching conversation about love, loss, and the legacy of giving.     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 share DJ’s legacy:  Subscribe and leave a 5-star review  Share this episode with your family and friends  Say “yes” to donation – be someone’s gift of life
