About this campaign

On Wednesday, Feb. 12th, Collin went from being a seemingly healthy 15 year old boy, to a boy who needed a new heart.  After many tests, doctors concluded that Collin's heart was failing, he was in need of a transplant. He now sits in a hospital, waiting...

Collin was diagnosed with Chronic Heart Disease, something he was unknowingly born with. He had lived and thrived as a normal boy does with this going undetected...until just recently when a virus attacked his heart (sending red flags up everywhere to the doctors).  His heart has not shown any signs of improving since then, nor will it...ever.  He desperately needs a new heart.  He WILL get that new heart and return to the life that he's used to.  But for now...he waits.  While sitting in the hospital in Minneapolis waiting, his parents are driving back and forth from Mankato...missing countless hours of work and only in the very beginning stages of realizing the enormous amount of money this journey will end up costing.  The last thing Matt and Tammy need right now is any sort of financial stress...they need to stay positive and 100% focused on their son and his healthy journey home! Please purchase one of these shirts and wear it proudly to support Collin and his family.  Help advocate the upmost importance of being an organ donor as well!!  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping any way you can.  The Luitjens are more than appreciative and can't express their gratitude enough!!

I am an Organ Donor myself & I lost my mother to cancer when she was just 46 years old. I would never want anyone to experience that pain. Life is meant to be shared, Save A Life & Share Your Organs...

Matt is a coworker at Scott County, and I have a niece who has been through serious medical issues in her teenage years. My heart goes out to Matt and Collin and the whole family. I will wear this T shirt proudly!

Stories like these are exactly why I'm an organ donor. Collin shows compassion & is so deserving of a new heart. I have a sister his age & this story hits close to home for me, he's in my thoughts and I hope he receives his new heart very soon.
