My very talented sister works for United Network for Organ Sharing as a graphic designer. She created the image below for their campaign this year. She has included some very important facts below. Please consider!
78 lives are saved daily through organ donation but your help is still needed! Currently more than 110,000 men, women and children are awaiting life saving organ. Thousands more are in need of tissue and cornea transplants to restore their mobility and sight.
Concerned about signing up? Learn the facts:
Fact: Anyone can be a potential donor regardless of age, race, or medical history.
Fact: All major religions in the United States support organ, eye and tissue donation and see it as the final act of love and generosity toward others.
Fact: If you are sick or injured and admitted to the hospital, the number one priority is to save your life. Organ, eye and tissue donation can only be considered after you are deceased.
Fact: When you are on the waiting list for an organ, what really counts is the severity of your illness, time spent waiting, blood type, and other important medical information, not your financial status or celebrity status.
Fact: An open casket funeral is possible for organ, eye and tissue donors. Through the entire donation process the body is treated with care, respect and dignity.
Fact: There is no cost to the donor or their family for organ or tissue donation.
