DID YOU KNOW?!💙💚
• Over 100,000 people in the US are in need of an organ transplant. Every 10 minutes a new person joins the list. 17 people die everyday while waiting for a life saving organ.
• You can give no greater gift than the gift of life. One person can save and improve more than 75 lives through organ, eye and tissue donation. By registering to become a donor, you can help give that gift.
• To ensure that your decision to donate is honored, you can register your legal decision to be a donor in a confidential donor registry. Each state maintains a registry, in addition to a national registry that is managed by Donate Life America. After you register, if you change your mind for any reason, you can contact the registry where you registered to ask that your name is removed.
• Transplantation provides hope to thousands of people with organ failure. In addition, transplanted tissue saves lives and offers hundreds of thousands of people active and renewed lives. But transplantation requires the commitment of organ and tissue donors, and the need for donors is much greater than the number of people who actually donate.
• There is no cost to the donor’s family or estate. Federally designated organ procurement organizations such as Gift of Hope are highly regulated, and cover all costs associated with the donation. Organ and tissue donation is a gift. It is illegal in the United States to buy or sell organs or tissue.
• The vast majority of religious and faith-based traditions support donation as the highest gesture of humanitarianism and final act of love and generosity to others. Many have passed resolutions and adopted positions that encourage people to seriously consider donation and plan accordingly.
