Visions 2018 Hispanic Heritage Month Special

Gift of Life Ambassador and kidney transplant recipient, Marleny Jimenez was featured on 6abc's Visions for a special Hispanic Heritage Month profile.

We’re celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with a Special Visions 2018. We dive into the red-hot immigration debate and share the powerful story of a young woman making her American dream come true. We meet the man who made the biggest hand-to-hand drug bust in U.S. history…. plus, a father and son looking to MAKE history. We’ll tell you about the gift that saved a life and how evacuees of Hurricane Maria are weathering one year after the storm.

Gift of Life

Every day, 20 people die waiting for a life-saving transplant, and The Gift of Life is working to raise awareness in the Hispanic community, specifically, where religion reasons can often make Latinos reluctant to donate.
