Donate Life ~ The Legacy of Emily Kay Compton

Organ Donation saves lives. This video was made for the organization Lifeshare Carolinas and commissioned by Carolinas Medical Center-North East in Concord , North Carolina . The videographer is Jeff Childers. On Easter Sunday, 2007, my sister received the gift of a new heart and a new life thanks to the selflessness of Emily Kay Compton's family. This piece is not only a tribute to Emily, but serves to stress the importance of signing a donor card. We have been forever changed thanks to Emily and her family. We still have Debbie and thank God every day. God bless your spirit, Emily. We are most grateful to have our "sister of the heart" included in our family. Your message needs to be shared. It is your legacy.

A beautiful testimony to the miracle it is...thank you Emily. You saved my life :)

What a wonderful story. I worked with Debbie in the ER and remember how sick she was. The difference from then to now is nothing short of a miracle. Emily sounded like an amazing person and it's only fitting that an equally amazing person is the recipient of her "gift". God Bless them both! (and sign up for Organ Donation...I did)
