Start the first full weekend of Eye Donation Month with this lovely story from Southern Eye Bank, part of Advancing Sight Network.

An emotional donor father recalls taking his 16-year-old daughter, Ramsey, to the DMV for her first driver's license, when she told him her decision to be an eye, organ, and tissue donor. Sadly, two years later, after a tragic car accident, that same father made Ramsey's decision was followed, and she became a cornea donor hero.

This generous donation gave the gift of sight to a man suffering from keratoconus. Recently, the donor family and recipient met in person and formed a deep bond. Now, they are all committed to preserving Ramsey's legacy as an "Everyday Hero", spreading awareness about eye donation, cornea, transplantation, and donor registration.
