Dr. Maisha Gray Diggs

October 25, 2018

Dr. Maisha Gray Diggs looking into a microscope

Dr. Maisha Gray Diggs suffered from a progressive eye disease that caused her vision to be blurry and distorted, making daily tasks very difficult. She became legally blind at the age of 26, but her vision was restored thanks to a double-corneal transplant. She has since become the mother of twins, is a devout basketball fan, and volunteers at her children’s school. She also has a successful career at a multinational technology company.

Colton Thompson
Thanks to a generous donor, Colton received a sight-restoring cornea transplant. Today, he isn’t scared to do any of the things he loves, like swimming and riding four-wheelers with his cousins or playing quarterback with his brothers during football.
Danny Rivers
Danny’s doctor recommended corneal transplant surgery, and within a week, surgery was performed on one eye, resulting in near 20/20 vision. A few years later, Danny had surgery on his second eye. His vision had been saved by two donors, and he felt it was his calling to give back through organ donation.
