## Resource

A woman from Mountain Home, Idaho, gave the ultimate gift—donating a kidney to a stranger veteran—thanks to DOVE, a nonprofit connecting vets with living donors. With over 95,000 Americans waiting for transplants, living donation is often the only hope. Hayley Slaughter, now DOVE’s 18th donor and a recipient of the Idaho Spirit of Freedom Award, says she’s healthier than ever—and even earned a black belt in taekwondo. She now works with DOVE to help others donate, with the organization covering all costs so donors aren’t burdened financially. Their goal? 100 living donors by Veterans Day. This story proves one person’s choice can change a life—and that organizations like DOVE make miracles possible.
