We loved Meredith. She was an incredible person and a cherished friend.


Meredith's last act of generosity was to donate her organs. At a moment when her own family experienced so much pain, she gave hope to other families who needed it. The woman who received Meredith's lungs - an Avaaz member since 2007! - says that she woke from the double lung transplant and, "for the first time in my life was able to take a deep breath", this time using Meredith's lungs!

Because of Meredith's gift, this 46-year-old mother of three will "watch her children grow up" and continue Meredith's legacy as a "social justice warrior". If you’re not already a donor, consider pledging to become one. If you are, encourage your friends to commit to it too.
