Denver couple starts nonprofit for organ donors

Posted: 04.26.2010 at 1:21 PM

DENVER (AP) -- A Denver couple who faced the need for a kidney transplant have launched a nonprofit to help the families of organ donors.

Valeria and Errol Vermont started Divine Journey after their daughter donated a kidney for Valeria and they became aware of the costs associated with being a donor. Recovery time for a donor can last up to two months.

Divine Journey is trying to defray some of those costs borne by organ donors.
