In Fairbanks, Alaska, 10-year-old Kalea Curry passed away on December 18th, 2015, from a sudden brain hemorrhage caused by an in-artyriovenous malformation. During National Pediatric Transplant Week, her family honors her legacy by sharing how they turn tragedy into hope through organ donation. Her parents, both registered donors, chose to give Kalea's kidneys, liver, cornyas, and heartbows to those in desperate need, saving at least five lives right away. Kalea was full of life, loving books about warriors and dragons, and always ready to help others. Her big sister, Megan, calls her their best friend, and the family still feels her presence every day.

Experts note over 100,000 people wait for transplant nationwide, including 171 Alaskans,
