· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Organ donation and transplantation are miracles that save lives. After being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 5, Aliris Negrón Rosas developed vision, kidney, and other organ problems throughout her childhood. As an adult, in February 2012, she was able to find a pancreas donor that changed her life. 'I am no longer diabetic, but I do take lifelong medication... compared to my previous life, this has changed a lot,' Negrón Rosas, a Puerto Rican from San Juan living in Tampa, Florida, said in an interview with Telemundo Digital. Fourteen years after her transplant, she still feels immense gratitude towards the family of the 18-year-old from the Lakeland area who donated the pancreas, despite never having contacted them. 'They extended my life,' she said.
