About me:

I'm employed by a non-profit that works to cure blindness through cornea transplants. My job is to pursue cases, contact the family about donating tissue, track down the body and medical chart, review the chart and talk to the next of kin to see if the donor is eligible to donate and to perform the actual recovery of eye tissue. I love my job, and hope to share my work through this blog. Though I have cleared this blog with my director, I desire to remain anonymous to the general public. Thanks for respecting this, and enjoy!
