Here’s to independence because there is an organ donor in everyone!

by Leave a Comment

There are over 450,000 Americans who are dependent on a dialysis machine to stay alive.
This requires them to go to a dialysis clinic an average of 3 times a week for 6 hours or to dialyze at home every night for about 9 hours.

Registering to be a deceased organ donor or being a living donor can help give these people freedom from a dialysis machine thorough a kidney transplant.

As we celebrate our independence this month, consider helping others live independent lives.

If you would like to register to be an organ donor, click here (https://theultimategiftoflife.com/become-organ-donor/)

Here’s to independence because there is an organ donor in everyone!

Thank you!

My new passion has become encouraging others to sign up as registered organ donors.  When I retired from the American Red Cross I looked for another opportunity to impact lives across the Texas Hill Country and throughout the country.
