Our daughter, Ruby, died waiting for a life saving liver transplant. She died because there is a massive shortage of organ donors. 1/3 of over 100,000 people waiting for an organ will die as they wait. I never thought we would be victim to that statistic. I am a registered Organ and Tissue Donor in honor or Ruby and to give HOPE to those waiting to be saved.

Yay! I'm a donor too because of Ruby Jane Taylor!
I was just thinking about your family today. My lil' girl found her Ruby pink bracelet in her room and has been wearing it. She asked me to tell her the "Ruby story!" :)
Hope you are having a great day!
I'm also an organ donor because of sweet Ruby :)
Is there a way to save the lovely photo of Ruby so that I can post it on my own blog and facebook too? I think it would be really helpful in having such a sweet little face to put to the topic of organ donation.
@kelly, yes you can just drag it to your desktop. thanks for wanting to share!
I am a donor because of Ruby Jane Taylor.
I had already registered as an organ donor but am in love with your little girls and your family. I wish much happiness for you and hope that the list of organ donors continues to grow!
Ani,
I was thinking of you and Ruby today. Hope things are going well with your pregnancy and that you are having many happy days.
I just love your story to bits.
We lost our baby girl to a fatal birth defect (anencephaly) late last summer. She lived 2 1/2 days. We did everything possible to donate her organs (everything from her neck down was perfectly healthy) but in the end she outlived the time frame for the donor process. We ended up donating her heart valves, and I hope it helps another baby like your Ruby.
xoxo, Alie

Thank you for your inspiration and passion. I am now an official organ donor. Your life has influenced mine so very much. God bless Ruby and all the life's she has touched. She is truly an angel sent from Heavenly Father to show us how precious life is.
