Friends and Family,

Early this morning, Maya was finally able to go into surgery for her organ donation. The donation team found recipients for her heart, liver, pancreas, and right kidney. In conjunction with her surgery, she was officially removed from life support. 

We feel relieved that she is free from her tubes and machines, and we feel grateful she was able to help so many others with her strong, healthy body through organ donation. And of course, we feel so, so very sad.

We have felt so loved and supported by you all throughout the course of Maya’s journey. We would love to have you come and celebrate her colorful, impactful life with us. Thank you for loving her, and for taking care of us. We love you.

Love, The Staples Family
