    • Gift of Life 93 The Organ Transplant Podcast
      Feb 3 2026

      In this deeply moving episode, we meet Caroline Mozare, a courageous young woman whose life changed forever after years of being undiagnosed—until her body could no longer fight on its own.

      What began as unanswered questions and quiet suffering led Caroline to the hospital, where she learned the unthinkable: she needed a liver transplant to survive. As her condition rapidly declined, Caroline spent many critical days unconscious, unaware of how close she came to losing her life. During that time, her husband stood in the gap—making impossible decisions, praying for a miracle, and later becoming the voice who would gently tell her everything that happened while she was gone.

      Caroline’s story is raw, real, and profoundly human. She opens up about the physical pain, the emotional toll, and the silent strength it took to endure what no one should have to face—especially at such a young age. This episode is not just about transplant; it’s about love, resilience, faith, and the unbreakable bond between two people walking through the darkest days together.

      This is a story that will stay with you—one that reminds us how fragile life can be, how powerful hope is, and how lifesaving the gift of organ donation truly is.

    • Gift of Life 92 The Organ Transplant Podcast
      Jan 27 2026

      Welcome to Episode 92 of Gift of Life – The Organ Transplant Podcast.

      This week, we share the powerful and faith-filled story of Michael Adams, a double lung transplant recipient whose life has been defined by perseverance, courage, and gratitude.

      Michael’s journey began as a young boy diagnosed with severe asthma. Years later, doctors discovered the true cause — cystic fibrosis — a diagnosis that explained the countless hospital stays, relentless treatments, and repeated brushes with death that followed. His childhood and adult life were marked by oxygen tanks, infections, and moments when breathing itself felt like an impossible task.

      By the age of 39, Michael’s condition had reached a breaking point. At one point, he was read his last rites — a moment no family ever expects, and no patient ever forgets. Yet, in the midst of that darkness, hope arrived through the miracle of transplantation.

      Thanks to the gift of life and the generosity of an organ donor, Michael received a double lung transplant — a moment that changed everything.

      Today, Michael is breathing freely on his own — something he once could only dream about. In this episode, he opens up about the fear, the faith, the waiting, and the overwhelming gratitude that comes with receiving a second chance at life. His story is a testament to the power of organ donation and the incredible resilience of the human spirit.

      This is more than a transplant story — it’s a reminder that miracles happen, hope endures, and every breath is a gift.

      Jan 20 2026

      This week on Gift of Life – The Organ Transplant Podcast, we share a powerful and honest story of survival, accountability, and redemption.

      Our guest, Alyson Jeter, opens up about her journey to a life-saving liver transplant following alcohol-related liver failure. In her own words, Alyson courageously shares the realities of addiction, the road to recovery, and the moment she was given a second chance at life through the gift of organ donation.

      Her story is one of humility, growth, and hope — a reminder that transformation is possible and that every donor gift has the power to change not just a body, but an entire future.

      This episode sheds light on:

      • The realities of liver failure and transplantation

      • The importance of personal responsibility and recovery

      • The life-changing power of organ donation

      • What it truly means to receive a second chance

      Alyson’s testimony is raw, real, and deeply moving — and it reminds us why awareness, compassion, and grace matter so much in the transplant community.
