This Beloved Pediatric Nurse Donated Her Organs To Help Those In Need, And Her Legacy Of Kindness Lives Of

One of the most amazing and selfless things people can do during their time on Earth is donate their organs or choose to put themselves down as an organ donor on their ID in case they pass unexpectedly.
Organ donation changes the lives of people who were stuck in the mindset of having to live out the rest of their days in pain or were on the brink of losing their lives.
One nurse in California dedicated her life to caring for others in a hospital and ended up saving many more when hers was over through organ donation.
Patrice Sanders was a 59-year-old nurse who loved working at the Valley Children’s Hospital in Madera, California.
She was a very giving and loving woman who adored helping whoever she could, whenever she could, whether they were her sick patients, her family members, co-workers, etc.
According to her family, Patrice was the kind of woman who consistently donated blood, even though she couldn’t stand needles. She also loved quilt-making and would handmake quilts for children in the ICU.
Tragically, after working as a nurse for over 30 years, Patrice’s health took a serious turn quite quickly. She reported feeling ill to her sister and was told she had gastroenteritis.
Then, her health took more of a decline when Patrice’s sister took her to the hospital, where they found out she had a bilateral stroke.
Days later, it was discovered that she had a brain bleed, and she had little to no quality of life left. Patrice’s family then chose to honor her wishes for the end of her life, which included donating her organs.

According to her family, Patrice had harrowing memories of children who needed organ transplants during her time as a nurse and strongly admired organ donors.
So, on June 13th, before her organs were donated, medical staff, alongside some of Patrice’s friends and family, conducted an honor walk down the halls of Community Regional Medical Center.
As Patrice was wheeled down the halls of the medical center in her hospital bed, a large group of people paid their respects for everything she did while she was alive and for her selfless services as an organ donor during her last moments on Earth.
The honor walk, which can be seen online, was incredibly beautiful, as one can feel the amount of love and respect that filled those halls simply by watching a recording of it.
While Patrice experienced an untimely and tragic death, her choice to be an organ donor will give others a second chance at life.
Nurses like Patrice make a massive difference in the world and deserve all of our love and support, as we know many of them would give it back to us as soon as we needed it.
Our hearts are with Patrice’s family and loved ones as they grieve the loss of such a wonderful woman.
