The Ultimate Gift of Compassion
For Latrice Price, senior community outreach specialist for Infinite Legacy, promoting education and awareness for organ, eye and tissue donation isn’t just a job—it’s a purpose. When asked for the one-word reason why she supports donation, her answer is simple: religion. “All religions believe in the act of giving,” she says. “It is the ultimate gift of compassion.”
Latrice works closely with clergy and the faith community to make sure that people understand the truth about organ donation and the impact it has on recipients in need.
