Marie-Joel Lalonde, a mother from Saint-Bruno, Quebec, Canada, experienced a life-altering journey after undergoing a cornea transplant seven months ago. Following an aggressive bacterial eye infection contracted while traveling in Indonesia, she lost vision in her right eye and was informed that a transplant was necessary. The surgery, coordinated with Hema-Quebec’s tissue bank, allowed her to regain her sight. Hema-Quebec, which oversees tissue donations in the province, emphasizes the importance of organ and tissue donation and encourages individuals to sign the organ donor sticker on their health cards. Josee Larivée, a spokesperson for Hema-Quebec, highlights the need for potential donors to discuss their wishes with family members to ensure their intentions are honored. Lalonde is grateful for the opportunity to live life fully thanks to the generosity of her donor, reflecting on the profound impact that organ donation can have on recipients.
