My Story…
It’s getting to that time again !! The Donor Network Walk that we did last year and we are doing it again!!
William lost his life in October of 2024 to suicide ( train ) and he was found beside the tracks with his wallet a few feet away and thank our Lord that they had his ID and he was found period. They rushed him to the hospital but found that he was brain dead 😢. We were called that chilly night at around 9 pm and as we were rushing to San Francisco all I was doing was praying and praying that he would make it through this tragic accident.
When we arrived we were told by Drs that William had no activity in his brain but they had him on life support for his heart that was still active and he was also an organ donor. They did many tests but there was just no sign of life 💔 our hearts were shattered and as the whole family arrived we just supported one another and took our turns to see William. I literally didn’t want to say goodbye- I was not ready , I kept thinking there would be a miracle .. but there wasn’t. This was on a cold October 10th and was also Mental Health Awareness day, ironically.
Going home that night tore us all inside.. we were all devastated. We were told that on October 13th , that Sunday that they will see in his surgery on his leg ( it was very damaged by the train ) that they will take him off support for only a few minutes and they did at 1:59pm. He was pronounced dead. 😭💔 He was blessed by a priest and given his last final sacrament before he went in to that surgery. 🙏🏻
As days gone by we were told by the Donor Network that a few recipients were located and he will be having his Honor Walk at midnight on October 18th . That is when they wheel him through the hallway to the elevator and take him into surgery to begin the procedure of all his working organs ( which were all in good shape , except his lungs had some damage from vaping ) That entire week was so emotional and I still don’t know how we all made it through but only I can say by the Grace of Our Lord Jesus , that is how we survived this. ✝️
We were blessed by having William in our lives, he was a light in this dark world and it was his time to go to heaven and be with God. He believed and he prayed all the time. He suffered some mental illness from drug use and unfortunately that lead him to that day . He will NEVER be forgotten and we will ALWAYS say his name. William Joseph Proctor . F23 🤍 🪽 🤍
So… as I wipe my tears because I haven’t written this before , I say that this walk is so important to us and we would love if you could donate and help us raise money for Donor Network. They took great care of William and of our entire family during this difficult time and still support us to this day by letting us know that William’s heart and both of his kidney’s are still thriving and keeping families together by his selfless service. William is our hero in a halo 😇
( so sorry this is so long , I have never shared so much as this )
