When i was faced with having to deal with a decision that my sister was being removed from a transplant wait list because she could not speak and could not move half her body, i felt trapped and there was nobody i could talk to.

Her to continue her medical treatment. And she passed away because of that denial of treatment. And im here to raise your attention to how discrimination can impact the disabled community when theyre dealing with an organ transplant. And i dont know if your office has ever had to deal with a situation like this. I only recently learned of your council over the summer. And i spoke with heather in your office.
