Update: Rockland’s Roxanne Watson, a heart transplant recipient that has dedicated her life to helping others recieve organ donations, is currently recovering from her second heart transplant. Roxanne has signed up over 13,000 people to the National Organ Donor Registry.

Roxanne is truly an amazing person and the United Women of Rockland are helping her as she recovers.

(Via United Women of Rockland) We want to take a moment to thank everyone who has donated gift cards or funds to support Roxanne Watson and her family. Your generosity has made a meaningful difference.
We’ve been in touch with her son, who shared that Roxanne is currently recovering from her second heart transplant. While this is a hopeful step forward, she still has a long road to healing and remains in the hospital.
The family asked us to extend their heartfelt gratitude to each of you. They are truly touched by the outpouring of love and support.

As Roxanne continues her recovery, her son is still making the daily trips to be by her side, and the travel expenses continue to add up. We are still collecting gas or Visa gift cards, or donations to help purchase them, to help ease this burden during such a challenging time.

How You Can Help:

📬 Mail a gift card to:
United Women of Rockland
P.O. Box 105
Stony Point, NY 10980

📲 Or Venmo your donation to: @UWRinc

(We’ll use it to purchase gift cards directly.)

Roxanne and her family are deeply thankful for your kindness. Please continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers as she focuses on healing.

Thank you again for standing by her.
