Mid-America Transplant

This company was so heartless and had no respect for me as a grieving mother to my autistic son Kyran. They called hours after his death. Took more tissues and organs than I gave permission to. Left him a mess for the funeral home. I regret every organ and tissue that was taken f om my baby.

My wife passed on August 29. We were only able to donate her kidneys and we learned that blessed two individual people. The staff from Mid-America Transplant was absolutely wonderful. They even updated me by text once they took my wife to the operating room.

In November of 2023 my father passed away. After having to make the decision to remove my father off life support we were met by Mid American Transplant and told he was an organ donor and we wanted to honor his wishes. We trusted Mid American Transplant at an extremely vulnerable time. They were kind and empathetic during the process. I was told that weeks or months down the line we would be receiving all the information about what gifts my Dad was able to provide for others, which made us feel better with our decision. Yesterday, i received a knock on our door from our mailman with a certified letter from Mid American and I was excited because I assumed it was the information regarding his gifts. It was a letter that stated they appreciated our willingness to fulfill my Dads wishes but that he was still at their funeral home and had been there since the date of his passing and despite their efforts to reach me to make arrangements for my father (which did NOT happen) they were going to cremate him and scatter, bury, or properly place his remains and to call the funeral home by January 22nd. This came as a shock to me because we already had what we believed to be my fathers ashes. Whos ashes do I have? My fathers been sitting at a funeral home for over 2 months? The mental images that flooded my head are some Im not sure Ill ever recover from. After calling both numbers provided in the letter I was told the letter was sent by mistake and the ashes I have are in fact my fathers. How does this kind of mistake happen? Why was I not notified via phone and instead sent a jarring certified letter? I am understanding and know that mistakes are made. This kind of mistake is traumatic, unacceptable, and irresponsible- especially to those grieving. Do your research before working with this company.
