Share your story

The Eversight family is united in helping to make vision a reality for more people around the world. We love to share stories of how lives are transformed through the gift of sight and how that selfless gift can bring peace to loved ones during times of loss.

Your story is personal and unique to you and your experience, and whether told through the perspective of a donor family member or recipient, it honors the gift of donation and transplantation.

What you share is up to you, but please don't share anything confidential. No matter what you decide to share, the most important thing is that your story comes from your heart.

You will find some writing prompts on the next page.

• Introduce yourself and your relationship with your loved one
• Tell us about your loved one (favorite memories, hobbies, their character or personality)
• What do you want people to know about your loved one?
• What would you say to those that were impacted by your loved one's donation?
• How has being a donor family member impacted your life?
• What was your reaction to learning the outcome of your loved one's donation?
• How do you keep your loved one's memory/legacy alive?

If you're more comfortable sharing in a different format, you can upload it on the next page.
