Donor Mom, Founding Member National Donor Family Council
Maggie Coolican became a Donor Mom when she lost her six-year-old daughter Katie and soon discovered the lack of support systems for families in crisis. Maggie became involved with NKF, spearheading For Those Who Give and Grieve: A Book for Donor Families, including a survey of donor families about their donation experiences. This led to NKF developing the newsletter For Those Who Give and Grieve, and establishing the National Donor Family Council, which helped increase organ donation by sharing and utilizing the perspectives donor families’ experiences.
