Hailey Palumbo of Jackson, NJ, was a loving daughter, sister, and friend. Her life began on August 18, 2001, and from then on, every day was a new adventure, according to her mother, Janet Palumbo. “Those who knew and loved Hailey recognized her as an energetic, good-hearted girl that brought joy to others and lit up a room when she walked in,” said Janet. “Hailey was the ‘Life of the Party,’ and she had countless friends that always wanted to be around her to enjoy her company.” On May 23, 2017, unexpected tragedy struck when Hailey passed away following a motor vehicle accident. Hailey’s loved ones were in shock as her life was just beginning. At the time of her death, Hailey was only 15 years old and a sophomore at Jackson Memorial High School. “She was filled with big dreams and knew that her purpose in life was to make a positive impact on others,” said Janet. “She was inspired by being a part of the Junior Air Force ROTC Program. She planned to join the Air Force after high school where she would have proudly served defending our nation. She also planned to then enroll in college to become a surgeon. Hailey’s dream was to save lives.” At the time of Hailey’s passing, the caring team at NJ Sharing Network discussed organ and tissue donation with her family. Despite her family’s overwhelming feeling of loss, they chose to make Hailey’s dream to save lives come true through organ and tissue donation. Hailey saved five lives and helped to heal many others through her tissue donation. By giving the gift of life to others, Hailey’s family has been blessed to meet many people. They made a powerful connection with John, one of Hailey’s kidney recipients and his wife, Barbara. They also have become ‘like family’ with Hannah, Hailey’s liver recipient, and her loved ones. “Our family is comforted by knowing that these amazing individuals have a better quality of life thanks to Hailey’s gifts,” said Janet. “We take pride in knowing that Hailey’s dream of saving lives came true.”
