On February 14, 2024, Valentine's Day AND National Donor Day, Donate Life Connecticut, Lionsgate Movies, and AMC Theaters hosted a private film screening of "Ordinary Angels" before its official release.

 

The film is based on the true story of a struggling hairdresser who finds a renewed sense of purpose when she meets a widowed father working hard to care for his two daughters. With his youngest critically ill and waiting for a liver transplant, the fierce woman single-handedly rallies an entire community to help.

 

What made the evening even more special was that we were able to surprise one of our board members and her family with meeting the man who gave a portion of his liver to her little boy and saved his life. Watch the moving story here as The Torres Family meets their hero and liver donor, Lawrence Lewis.
