Writing To Donor Families & Recipients

The Eye Bank of Kentucky supports written correspondence between cornea recipients and donor families, fostering meaningful connections. Many donor families and recipients find that exchanging letters or greeting cards can bring comfort and healing during their journeys. For donor families, reaching out to a recipient can also provide insight into the impact of their loved one’s gift.

Choosing to write is a deeply personal decision with no set timeline. If you feel ready to connect with your loved one’s recipient(s), or want to express your gratitude to your donor's family, we encourage you to share your thoughts. All correspondence remains anonymous, and identities are kept strictly confidential to honor your privacy.
