You have the power to Donate Life. Be an organ, eye and tissue donor.
It's about living. It's about life.
Organ and tissue transplant offer patients a new chance at healthy, productive and normal lives and return them to their families, friends and communities. Believe it or not, many African American have never thought about being an organ, eye and tissue donor, even though there is a critical shortage. It's the opportunity for you to share your life with others.
Right now, nearly 100,000 men, women, and children are waiting for a life-saving transplant. Hundreds of thousands more could have their lives renewed through corneal or tissue transplantation.
Although African Americans make up 14 percent of the U.S. population, they account for 35% of all patients waiting for kidney transplants. In addition, every 12 minutes another name is added to the donor list. The disturbing news is that an average of 20 people die each day, because there are not enough organ donors.
You have the power to save a life. Decide to be an organ donor and Donate Life.
