In honor of National Donate Life Month in April, OTS will share an inspirational transplant story of a kidney transplant journey at the meeting on Friday, April 3, 2026.   This meeting will be held on Zoom, starting at 7pm Central time.   Our speaker for this meeting will be Ms. Sarita Rivera, a kidney transplant recipient.

Sarita Rivera is a kidney transplant warrior who spends her days helping first graders learn to read, write, and believe in themselves. What many didn’t see was the quiet strength behind her smile.

Born with Polycystic Kidney Disease, Sarita always knew a transplant could be part of her future. She just never imagined it would come at only 30 years old, while dreaming of starting a family.

After years of perseverance, treatments, and long nights on home hemodialysis, hope finally arrived in the most unexpected way, a miracle that changed everything.

On April 3rd, stand with us as we honor the miracle that gave Sarita her life back and the courageous generosity that made it possible.

Because one act of kindness can change a future, restore a dream, and remind us all how powerful compassion truly is.

To anyone still waiting, hold on to hope. Your time will come soon.💚

This OTS meeting is free and is open to the public.  We will send an email with the Zoom log-in info the day before the meeting.  Don’t miss this very special OTS meeting on Friday, April 3, 2026!
