Ambassador
Stories

OneLegacy, the federally designated Organ Procurement Organization serving seven counties throughout Southern California, is powered by a team of 400+ dedicated employees in clinical, social work, administrative, and leadership roles. Their tireless efforts are focused on one mission: saving lives through donation and transplantation. However, the unsung heroes in our mission are the OneLegacy Ambassadors. These volunteers, each with personal experiences of donation and transplantation, are the lifeblood of our foundation. Their stories of hope, faith, triumph, perseverance, and dedication to our cause are profoundly inspiring. We are grateful for their invaluable contribution.

The Ambassador Videos were created to share these powerful stories with the world. A new story will be shared on the OneLegacy website each week and live on our OneLegacy YouTube channel. We believe these videos will not only serve as a platform for viewers to learn, love, build community, and honor the legacy of those who gave the gift of life, but also inspire and educate the audience about organ donation and transplantation.

Ep. 1 Kali Rose

An incredibly brave mother of three experiences the heart-wrenching loss of her youngest child. In the wake of this devastating tragedy, she finds the strength to honor her daughter's legacy and create a supportive community for others who have faced similar situations. Kali Rose, her precious daughter, saved four lives and left an indelible mark on the world during her brief yet beautiful time here.

Ep. 2 Duane

A vibrant and successful man, full of life and energy, is struck down by a rare disease, leaving him in desperate need of a heart and kidney. This experience brings him a new lease on life and inspires him to become a part of the OneLegacy Ambassador program, driven by a deep desire to give back and help others facing similar challenges.

Ep 3. Hernan

In honor of National Multiethnic Donor Awareness Month, we're proud to share the impactful story of Arnold Jr., a young man who has spent his life honoring his older brother Hernan, even though the two never met. Hernan passed away before Arnold was born, but in his passing, he made a significant impact by saving lives through organ donation. Arnold, along with his mother and father, now spend their free time honoring their lost angel and the lives he saved.
