A Tale Of Fate, Generosity, And Love: Two Families United By Life-Saving Liver Donations
April 20, 2024
In 2022, Brandon Morgan faced devastating news: his chances of surviving liver disease were so slim that he was removed from the deceased donor list. His then-girlfriend, Christina Benjamin, immediately stepped up, eager to be his donor.
Despite her willingness, tests revealed she wasn’t a match for Brandon. Undeterred, Christina made a selfless decision to donate her liver to someone else in need.

Almost miraculously, shortly after Christina’s decision to donate, Brandon received news that he had found a match.
“It was fate, like it was all meant to be,” Christina told People magazine.
Christina’s liver went to Peggy Miller, a 70-year-old woman who had been given just 3-6 months to live. Peggy and her husband had been preparing for the worst, even planning her funeral. “It was a miracle,” Peggy exclaimed. “My husband and I just looked at each other. We were in disbelief that it was happening because we had accepted the fact that it wasn’t going to happen.”
