“You take it for granted, the different components of our faces – the bone, the tissue, the muscle, everything – but when it’s gone, you recognize the big need. Then when you receive a transplant, you’re so thankful.”

Katie plans to attend college online with the aim of possibly pursuing a career in counseling and motivational speaking. Very fitting, considering she is a person that indeed turned her life around – an is now an inspiration to many worldwide.

We are thrilled that Katie received a second chance in life.
