FOLLANSBEE, W.Va. — One community is coming together to spread awareness for organ and tissue donation. Sunday evening, residents came together at James Funeral Home in Follansbee to learn about the importance of donations and listen to stories of those affected.
Iris Ferrell is from Follansbee and on a firsthand account, understands the importance of organ and tissue donation. Not only was her husband a donor, but she is also a recipient.
"I was going back to work and I was hit from behind with a vehicle. I do have donor parts in my neck. It's let me go on with my life and be able to still be a working person without a lot of pain,” Ferrell said.
