Read Taylor Storch's Poem and Visit TaylorsGift.org

Ellen asked an audience member, Tara Storch, to share the story of the loss of her daughter -- and how Tara turned it into an inspiring mission. Through organ donation, Taylor was able to save five lives, and Tara wants to spread the word.

Tara also shared this poem that Taylor wrote exactly one year ago.

I AM

I am outgoing and friendly.
I wonder how long is forever.
I hear support from my family whenever I need it.
I see myself helping people in every way I can.
I want to be on the Ellen DeGeneres show.
I am outgoing and friendly.
I pretend I can do anything I want to.
I feel touched by the generosity of my sister.
I touch people's lives.
I worry about failing.
I cry at the thought of losing a member of my family.
I am outgoing and friendly.
I understand how to make people feel happy.
I say with pride that I am Christian.
I dream about becoming a teacher.
I try to make every day like my last.
I hope to become successful in life.
I am outgoing and friendly.

Taylor Paige Storch
