INSIDE NJ SHARING NETWORK
Our Team Honors Baby Hope Each month, a member of the donation community is invited to speak at our staff meeting. In May, Cheryl Wolf shared the story of her newborn daughter, Hope, who passed away on February 6, 2018 after what she describes as a “beautiful 90 minutes.” Hope was able to donate her heart for research and liver cells to help bring life and healing to other hurting families. “We miss our baby girl terribly, but know her short life had great purpose,” she says. “Thank you NJ Sharing Network for honoring Hope’s life and preserving her legacy.” Cheryl is pictured holding her daughter, Abigail, along with members of our Clinical Team involved in Hope’s care.
