About | In 2005, Hollie Stanyon-Fouts, 20, died shortly after a collision in Menifee. "When the doctor told me Hollie wasn't going to survive, I just couldn't believe it was happening again," Jayne Stanyon said. When a representative from One Legacy came to Stanyon to ask if she was willing to donate Fouts' organs, she immediately agreed because she knew it was her daughter's wish. "She wanted to be a pediatric nurse. She wanted to save children's lives," Stanyon said. Fouts' organs were transplanted into six people, including a Wildomar woman who sends the couple a card every Christmas, Stanyon said. Whenever the opportunity arises, Stanyon speaks out for organ donation. She wears three rubber bracelets, two pink, one for each daughter, and one green with the words Donate Life. People often ask about the bracelets, which give her an opportunity to tell her story she said. On New Year's Day, Donate Life will have a float in the Rose Parade decorated with the likenesses of several organ donors. Fouts will be among those depicted on the float. The Stanyons recently decorated their daughter's floragraph with petals and seeds. Gomez will be among the organ recipients riding on the float. |
