Dreamy's Honor Walk
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 жов 2021
- Throughout her life, Donella “Dreamy” Metcalf gave so much to others: Love, laughter, support, and compassion. It came as no surprise to those who knew her that her final wish was to give others a chance at life through the gift of organ donation.
Dreamy Metcalf, 58, suffered a sudden attack, and was ultimately placed on life support. When it became apparent that she would not be returning to her family and friends, as they knew and loved her, her wish to be an organ donor was honored.
Northern Inyo Healthcare District held an Honor Walk for Dreamy Metcalf and her family on Sunday, Sept. 19. Honor Walks take place when a donor patient, who is on life support, is transferred from Intensive Care to the Operating Room. During the NIHD walk, caregivers and District staff, quietly gather along the hallway to pay their respects to Dreamy and her family, and to say thank you.
This is the first Honor Walk at NIHD since 2011.
In the United States, more than 110,000 men, women and children are waiting for lifesaving transplant surgery.
The NIHD team thanks Dreamy for giving this gift of life to others and asks everyone to remember Dreamy for the life she lived and the life she gave to others.
Im watching this from UK im 65 male and im in bits to all you special people God Bless you all and thank you for a selfless act of kindness RIP
My niece was an organ donor... she was 21 yrs old, was in a snowmobile accident and was declared brain dead, her heart and kidneys were donated.. no one wanted her lungs because they were bruised...we met the young man that got her heart... he is married with a child now...this was in 2008.
So so sorry for yr loss🙏⚘
God bless.
😭❤️❤️❤️🙏
So sorry for your loss🙏🙏🙏
Thank God for people you and your daughter, I made the same decision for my brother who died of a brain aneurysm two months ago. I will never get over his death and I still cry every day. The only thing that gives me any kind of comfort is knowing that he was able to save the lives of five people. I am so sorry for your loss hun. I don't know how it feels to lose a child, but I can only imagine the pain and the heart ache. God bless.
Dreamy, you're an angel in heavens, pray for us. ❤❤❤❤
there is no heaven
In 2001 at the age of 51 I received the gift of life from a family and their very much loved family member. I had a liver transplant at The Nazzi Zudi Transplant Center in OKC. Ok. In four months I will be 72 because of their unselfish gift. Back then they didn't have honor walks. I wish they had. The gratitude I felt then and now...no words can express.
Beautifully said Carol Hammond. For your donor’s loved ones, whether they know of you or not, your life was changed, as theirs were as well. Organ donation, in my eyes, has to be one of the greatest gifts anyone can give. The son of very good friends was born with cystic fibrosis… the only "cure" was then & now is organ donation. When he was diagnosed his parents were told that he would be lucky to live to see his 20’s. He received a bilateral lung transplant several years ago & thankfully this young man is alive in his 30’s, married & living the life that he & his parents never believed he would.
Rest In Peace Dreamy, you’ve earned your angel wings ❤️
Your Words Touched my Heart…..I am so Happy to Hear Your doing Well……Thank You for Sharing…..May God Continue to Bless You……and God Bless your Donor…
I had a brother in law that died in March from Covid . He had a chance to meet his Grandchildren because he got the gift of a Kidney . Thank you to his family.
I am an organ donor as well 💗 so if something happens to me, doctors have my permission to take whatever they need.
Rest in Peace Dreamy🕊💗
I never search for these videos but every now and then one will pop up and I find myself watching and feeling the pain the family and friends are going through. I wish I could be an organ donner but having stage iv lung cancer I am no longer a candidate. May she rest in peace and her family and friends find the strength to heal knowing the wonderful gift she gave to others.
That’s what I’m worried about myself as I am on the organ donors that I get so sick I cannot donate my organs I’m so sorry you can’t help someone but you should be glad you tried and miracles happen every day may you find comfort in all the time you have left my grandma had cancer they told her 6 months and she lasted 7 years more with us
Toi aussi tu m'as tellement émouvante je te souhaite plein de courage et de belles choses 💜
Ya eres un Donante de honor con solo desearlo ya diste vida
🤓ĺotto
May God Bless you and Keep you.
On n'as pas de mots merci à Cette jeune femme pour le dons d'organes
What an incredible woman, Dreamy was. I just read her obituary and she could not have been a nicer person. Fly high Dreamy. May you rest in everlasting love and peace.
How did she lose her life?
This really touched me because my friend's 15 year old grandson got a heart at 9:30 last night and I've been thinking about the family who lost a loved one yesterday. So grateful and yet so emotionally sad for them. God bless those that sacrifice.
Prayers to all
Isn't God Awesome, Amen
God bless your grandson, God's love and blessings on you and your family
Our son died in a freak car accident, he wanted to be an organ donor but they were unable to revive him at the scene. It breaks my heart knowing that that one wish of his wasn’t able to happen, I feel it would have given some meaning to his death. It’s so very difficult loosing a child, 17 years later I miss him even more. Knowing his heart or other organs could have saved the lives of others really hit hard, it would have been so wonderful to know his beautiful heart was beating keeping someone else alive. Organ donors are so special and I personally don’t understand how family members can stop the organ donation when you know that was their dying wish.
Be at peace Dreamy 🙏🏻❤️💔🕊
@@shaz8486 Oh I'm so sorry about your loss of your son. Truly heartbreaking. I hope you can still have peace that he is not in pain and hold on to your memories tightly.
All of these people who a organ donor is a true blessing.
Please keep doing this, honoring these people, gives others hope. My deepest condolences God bless you Dreamy!
AMEN
The ways this hospital facility honored Dreamy was beautifully done…. 🫶🏻
Donation saves so many lives. Thank you Dreamy & her family . May God Bless you all.
Yes it does!
Buen viaje gracias por ayudar a otras personas a qué la tierra te quiera🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳😍😘😘♥️
Such a beautiful young woman. I have to think how bittersweet organ donation is. From pain & sorrow for one family is at the same time much joy & hope for other families. RIP Dreamy. You did good.
After watching videos like this I decided to be a organ donor in the unfortunate event something happens to me. God bless this family
God bless you for a brave and selfless decision.
That's the exact reason they show you this kind of videos. But you better learn the question of organ transplantation more deeply. It's not good on so many levels. (Like, there's organs traffic, people are killed for their organs, in some hospitals the donators will be killed by doctors cause they have financial interest and so on; and the person who recieves an organ continues her life on meds, always. immunosuppressors).
Keep your organs for yourself. I'll do a paper were I officially forbid to use my organs in case.
@@annaheart7731 you do what you have to do. Hopefully you'll live to a very old age where no one wants your shriveled organs and hard heart.
@@annaheart7731 🙄
My husband received a beautiful set of lungs August 11th 2021. God bless the donor and their family. Forever in gratitude.
Thanks for sharing
Organ donors are TRUE HEROES💕 Fly with the angels 👼🏼
Sorry for the loss of your precious Dreamy,and thank her for the beautiful gift of life she gave to others ❤️
There is terrible evil in the world. Yet in the darkness there shines the light of love. May the peace of God be with you Dreamy.
last august, as my brother fought for his life in that ICU unit we called a home for a month, I had the strange surreal honor of witnessing an honor walk. though i believed my brother would be alright, i couldn't shake the feeling that it could've been my brother on that stretcher. whoever that beautiful soul was, I hope they found peace.
I live in another country, and we don't do this to donors. It all happens quietly, and in a breeze, because time counts. I have watched both sides of a transplant. First, when my partner's cousin died, and it was heartbreaking. Then, my mom has a kidney transplant, and it's so incredible the mix of feelings, watching your loved one with a new opportunity to live, incredible to witness that miracle, and, at the same time that you are so moved watching the organ quick and alive, you are thinking that a family are so torn and heartbrokrn, grieving and trying to come to terms with the fact that they are not going to see the donor any longer. I will never be able to thank enough that family. In my heart, still almost three years after the donation, I give him/her my personal, inner tribute.
What a sad but yet so beautiful video. The plane flying off with her was so symbolic of her getting her Angel 😇wings. It made my very teary but happy for her family at the same time. God bless you all for such a wonderful gift to her beneficiaries.
RIP Dreamy…Thank you for your gifts of life✝️ Prayers for peace for your family🙏🏻
I cry for those lost every time I watch these, but live on through donating.
I'm an organ donor, I pray I can save anyone before I leave this earth 🙏 bless you all💞
This is the first time I ever see a semi-formal - honor roll ceremony when a organ donor is being done for a patient. It was very personal & lovely. May Dreamy, Rest In eternal peace. ♥️
I'm a organ donor as well a few ppl that have seen it on my driver license ❤ have told me not to be one saying things like they going to let you die for your organs. I never will change my mind
Rip Dreamy 🙏🏼
Thank you Dreamy for giving of yourself so that others may live. You are a woman who deserves this beautiful honor walk.
Comparto su dolor, soy española y soy donante de cuerpo y de órganos, vivan felices, pensando que otras personas están teniendo calidad de vida gracias a este acto de amor... ❤️
Hola cielo yo quiero donar mis órganos soy de espña pero no se donde tengo que ir soy de andalucia
If there is one thing about the pandemic I hate almost as much as the loss of life, it is this. We didn't get to do this for my niece, whose death by an asthma attack, saved four lives. Miss you Brandie. So very much, my beautiful blue eyed angel 😔
Im very sorry for your loss
I lost five from covid within 8 weeks and didn't get to do this
Blame China for creating a bioweapon
The roses made it a beautiful touch, much like when the coffin ⚰️ rolls by you place a rose 🌹 to say your goodbyes 😢. Then you see her organs fly into the sky knowing there is someone whose gonna receive them so they can live. It’s quite a connection to have between the person’s family and the recipient. It’s like their family member is still alive here on earth. In a way it seems that her spirit lives in them.
🥀🥀🥀🥀Everything has been Magnified to give the Illusion of what you have Described. It is Far From Reality and The Truth.
MY BROTHER HAD A KIDNEY TRANSPLANT, IT HAS GIVEN HIM 44 YRS AND COUNTING .THANK YOU FOR THE FAMILY THAT GAVE MY BROTHER LIFE AGAIN XX
REST IN PEACE DREAMY .THANK YOU FOR YOUR GIFT OF LIFE TO THE TRANSPLANT PATIENTS YOU SAVED.
Thank you to Dreamy's family for making such a selfless decision. You honoured Dreamy in the best ways possible.
I just wail when I see these walks
Fly high you beautiful soul…🌈💗🙏😇.
Such a beautiful tribute to an woman who chose to care for others, even when she left this earthly realm. May God Almighty comfort her family & friends as only He can, and may she Rest In Peace and love, always. 🙏🏻
God Bless you a dreamy !, such a beautiful soul, you are living eternally with God while giving and living life through others you saved ! God Bless you honey 🙏🏾♥️🌹
What an awesome name, not to mention her beautiful spirit of giving. I urge everyone to be a donor it's rewarding. Fly high angel 👼 you've earned your wings.

I gave a Kidney too my youngest Brother in 2005. he lived until his passing in 2008. but it is on my driver license that the rest of my organs will go too transplant also. as I know what these Family's go through in waiting.
Thank you Dreamy also thank your parents who gave you life. Your gift of yourself is life changing to many.
I read her obit. She sounds like she was an amazing human being. So sorry for the loss that family and friends experienced. God bless her and keep her.
"Dream a little dream of me"....
What we take for granted every day, someone is praying for. God rest her soul 🙏
What a beautiful gift Dreamy gave.... May she rest in peace.......
A beautiful story of a woman's precious gift. I have metastatic breast cancer that has traveled to my right lung. I was always a donor until now, but I honor those who can and will be.
Oceaneyes, flowers for you Queen 🌹 🌹 🌹 keep fighting always, Keta Smith.
Praying for your healing.
@@Katteyezz Thank you so very much. You make me smile.😁
Beautiful lady. Hope you are ok
@@PSUJerseyGirl Just now seeing your comment. Thank you. That is very nice of you. Day by day. PET scan in 2 weeks.🙏
Lovely story and God Bless the courage of the donor...what a beautiful send of to honor a lovely human being.
I will always have great respect for those who donate their organs to save the lives of others, especially those who are no longer with us.
I am glad this is still continuing despite COVID-19.
These Honor Walks have so much to teach us about the fragility of life and how we can still make a difference long after we're gone. Future generations in other families will come forth because of Dreamy's selfless act. May she Rest in Peace and my sympathies and prayers are with her family and friends. My prayers are with the recipients of her Blessed organs to go on and live a truly wonderful and blessed life. 🙏❤
Thank you for your life and giving life back
Thank you, Dreamy, for your selfless gift of life. Rest easy 🌿 🤍🙏🏻🕊
May God hold her tight ,as well as her family.
These are heart wrenching. Thank you for the sacrifice of her and her family.
The saddest day for 1 family yet the happiest to the families receiving the gift of life from Dreamy. She lives on in others what a true hero. Many prayers to her 🙏loved ones going through the loss of precious Dreamy! 😢🙏🙏💜

Sem dúvida o maior ato de amor da família mesmo no momento da dor ajuda outras pessoas.

Dreamy, what a beautiful name for the ultimate generous hero!

My MoM died September 26 and my nephew died 20, of September then a really great friend died from covid a few days after my mom. so all are now are all up in heaven. My mom was actually waiting for a kidney transplant but it didn’t happen for her she fell into a coma Wednesday before she passed on that Sunday afternoon. May everyone see how organ donations can save lives. My mom got too sick to receive her. So May they all rest in paradise fly high so that have passed on Dreamy thank you for saving lives your such a hero to so many. God bless you all.
So sorry for your loss! 🙏
Thank you I lost one bff to covid 19 it was the hardest thing then I lost my other bff 2 months later and her mom,we don't have honor walks at our hospital because it is so small they would have to fly somewhere else, she was a hero, if something happened to me I would want the same thing
Thank you
Dreamy, well done! All I can say, you did the best with your life. Well done! Thank you! May your family overcome your loss some day.
Aww this is so sad... May you rest in peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Nothing can take away the pain of losing someone you love, but this is meaningful to a family. My mother couldn't be a donor because of her illness and medications, but as we left the hospital all the nurses stood up at the nurses station as we passed by. That touched all of us
Thank you for sharing. That is wonderful they did that for her.
A selfless hero….
🇺🇸🙏🏻🥰❤️😢😢
Rest in peace Dreamy a true hero and loved so dearly, sweet dreams x
When the closest,
Dearest, beloved person leaves.
The whole world will be a bitter drama
Where everything turns black, even the snow.
And never! Nothing in the world,
The warmth of their hands cannot be replaced.
While you're alive, don't be stingy,
To give my love to my family...
God bless dreamy and her family my prayers go out to all of you rip dreamy you are amazing angel rip
Rest In Paradise Dreamy you r a hero and r blessed my sincere condolences to the family 💕
Please, people. Do it. My friend's husband was on the brink of death, and a donor came through with a liver. You're not going to use these parts when you go to the Pearly Gates.
So sorry for your loss….please know you’re in my prayers.
What a beautiful lady with a much beautiful soul❤️.
May you RIP and my sincere condolences to your family and friends.
Q homenagem linda🙏🌷🌺⚘

How beautiful is that bless you dreamy from the u.k x
I'm a donor !! I've signed on to save a life, everything. I won't need it when I'm gone. I've known a few people that needed lungs for Cystic Fibrosis
Please think about this life gift !
RIP, Dreamy, my heart goes out to your family and friends. May God, comfort your family to go on. You are giving others the gift of life and you will be alive in others. My daughter passed away this month 4 years ago. She was 33 years old maybe you will both meet in Heaven❤❤❤❤❤❤
God bless you baby girl you will be miss and love so much
