Hope & Healing & Saved by a Stranger (This is an updated version of the same post from April 2025)

It’s the little things that matter in this thing called Life. Don’t let them slip away. Without the generosity of an organ donor, I wouldn’t be here to enjoy the little things.

On a light gray background is what appears to be a Snellen eye test chart, where the letters begin big and become smaller each line. Only this eye chart reads: Cornea donations are common after death. At the top left is the logo for My Parents Are Dead: What Now? featuring a cartoon skull with heart eyes atop a lime green heptagon. At the bottom of the chart is a lime green line, and on the right side each line is numbered 1 through 8.

The nice thing about corneas is that it doesn't matter how old or sick you are—once you die, they can probably be transplanted into someone else who needs them.
