Teimouri helping dozens through gift of organ donation
CRANBERRY TWP — By all accounts, Aleksander Teimouri always thought of others and how he could make their lives better.
Nearly two months after his death in a bicycle accident, he's having more of an impact than ever.
According to a letter sent to Teimouri's mother, Christina, from the Center for Organ Recovery and Education, the 22-year-old Cranberry man has helped five people through the donation of his organs, and countless more through research and future transplants.
Through those donations, his “wish to help others through donation will always be held in the highest regard,” the letter states.
The letter outlines the individuals who have received donations, and how they've responded to them.
To celebrate his gifts, Teimouri's life will be honored through A Special Place, a park area outside CORE's Pittsburgh office. A leaf will be engraved on the park's wall in his memory during a ceremony this spring.
Christina Teimouri said she and her family will attend that ceremony. She said she was touched by the letter.
