Woman educates people on organ donation
Nonprofit focuses on facts and families

Anne Wolff knows all about the importance of organ donation. The 45-year-old woman from Elysian has received two organ transplants. Her kidney came from a living donor — a cousin. Her pancreas came from a deceased donor — an unknown 15-year-old boy who died from a head injury.
Her experience is what led her to sit down and write a screenplay, then another and another, about the story of donations and transplants. She also founded a nonprofit organization called Faces of Life.
