Vince Cortez
Vince received a double cornea transplant in 2010 and 2011. His gift of sight allowed him to pursue a career as a barber, opening two barbershops within one year and now working on a third, which wouldn't have been possible without his corneal transplants. He is most proud of being able to coach his son’s baseball teams.
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.
