The Gift of Life
More than 97,000 Americans are waiting for
lifesaving organ transplants and many more wait for
donated tissues.
On average, 18 people in this country die every day
- 6,600 each year - waiting for organ transplant.
The
reason is simple -- a tragic shortage of donated organs
and tissues.
What
You Can Do
Although most people support donation, many
have not taken the important step of signing up to
be a donor when
they
apply
for, or
renew,
their
drivers licenses.
The states of
Connecticut
Maine
Massachusetts
Rhode Island
currently offer the ability to signup
for organ and tissue donation through the DMV
license process when you renew your drivers license.
Visit the state links above to learn more about your
state's donor registry.
If you don't live in one of the above state's may
wish to fill out a donor
card and
carry it with you. We would be happy to send
you one.
What ever way you choose to declare yourself
a donor, it is always a good idea to inform your family
of your
decision
to donate and to urge them to do the same.
