My father had a heart transplant, and he is absolutely the same, still toxic, still abusive, still lacks empathy, plus the steroids/medications he’s on are making him even more mean and angry.

"souls go to heaven, organs don't" - what a simple but poignant way to encourage organ donation.

The way she talks about her promise to God and giving back is really powerful. Shows how a single event can change not just the course of someone's life but also the spiritual value

It was so powerful when you said that by helping these transplant patients, you're saving lives just as much as the surgeons themselves. And I agree, you're not just providing housing - you're a crucial part of their care.

that little girl wondering if it was okay to pray for a new heart because it means someone has to die...wow that just broke my heart. kids shouldn't have to grapple with thoughts like that.

Wow what a woman. The energy she's sending out is incredible, so glad she's still on Earth and using her experience to spread awareness

Seeing the personal sacrifices she made, like losing her business and going broke, really highlights her dedication to helping others. What an incredible person.

Idk if I could stay as positive and upbeat as this lady did after going through something so traumatic and life-threatening. Have a whole lotta respect for her though

I never thought about the impact on the donor's family before. It’s great that her Heart also supports them in such a meaningful way.

What a difference this woman is making for so many people... I've always felt the ability to turn your own personal tragedy or struggle into a source of experience and difference for others is not just incredible but one of the most admirable things a person can do.

The journey from a heart transplant recipient to a champion for others facing similar challenges is nothing short of heroic. It's people like her who inspire true change.

Your passion for this cause is just radiating off the screen. Watching you talk, I can really feel how personal and important this mission is for you, and it's so lovely to see someone so dedicated to helping others just for the sake of it.

The fact that her nonprofit can house five families at a time is amazing. She's making such a big impact!

The communal housing she's set up sounds amazing, especially for the stuff she says around the

What an impactful message! Her story is a poignant reminder of the human side of medical science and the impact of community support. Her work is a testament to the power of giving back.

Heartfelt and Motivating! It's amazing to see how she turned her life-threatening experience into a catalyst for change. Her efforts would be making such a huge difference for so many families.

I didn't realize the transplant process was so complex, good to see some awareness around it

You know, I expected this to be a standard medical success story, but you covered so much deeper emotional ground too. Really great talk, thank you.

Wow Ava, what an incredible story! Thank you for spreading awareness around these issues! I had no idea!

I know it's a small part of this talk but when she said it was a soul-altering experience for her I literally got chills. I've often wondered about it like... I know we often speak metaphorically about our heart and how our spirit or spark or whatever you want to call it is inside there, and all the stuff about keeping people in your heart etc.
