Organ Donor--Jonathan Paul Kuzminski


Organ donor and hero!

Jonathon Paul Kuzminski was born to Paul and Crystal Kuzminski in September of 2009.  Jonathan was also the grandson of Barbara Pedone Kuzminski. On May 10, 2011, at the age of 20 months, he suffered a traumatic brain injury and passed away three days later.Throughout that difficult week in 2011, the New Jersey Sharing Network was a rock for the Kuzmenskis. Here is their website if you would like more information: NJ Sharing Network

His parents were brave enough to say YES to organ donation and their son's kidney saved a 16 year old girl from dialysis and his liver went to then-two-year-old Wyatt.

Since then, Wyatt and his family have met the Kumzmenskis after reached out to them, wanting to thank them for what young Jonathon did for their son. Four years later, Wyatt is still in remission and still healthy thanks to Jonathon.
