## Resource

In a heartbreaking yet profoundly inspiring story, Matthew Bishop, a young man from Grand Island, tragically lost his life after a brutal attack—but his final act of generosity saved countless lives. Despite the pain of losing him, Matthew’s mother, Colleen, shared that his wish to donate his organs was born from a family conversation after another loss, reflecting his deeply selfless spirit. With a tight medical window to make his donation viable, the family held their breath—joking that Matthew, who never made curfew, might just make it. He passed peacefully surrounded by loved ones. Miraculously, all of his major organs—including heart, lungs, and kidneys—were successfully transplanted, even though his eyes were damaged. The medical team at CHI Health Bergan-Mercy was hailed as “angels on earth,” and dozens of recipients have already been matched. The Bishop family is honoring Matthew with a memorial service and launching a fundraiser to encourage more people to become organ donors, ensuring his legacy of giving continues to ripple through lives.
