Midwest Transplant Network has established guidelines for facilitating communication between donor families and transplant recipients. The decision to write to your donor family is a very personal one. Often transplant recipients choose to write to donor families to express their gratitude. In response, many donor families have said a card or letter of thanks from a recipient offers a great deal of comfort and helps them in their grief journey. It is your choice whether or not you decide to write to your donor family.
