“After my brother’s passing I experienced a deep awakening.
Learning that he was able to donate his organs and help others in such a profound way brought a sense of purpose to our grief. That experience stayed with me, and on my 40th birthday, I chose to honor his legacy by becoming an organ donor myself.”
Christina B., Registered Nurse in Chicago, Ill. and sister of an organ donor.
More than 105,000 adults and children are on the national organ transplant waitlist waiting for a second at life.
That’s enough to fill up both Soldier Field in Chicago and Gies Memorial Stadium in Champaign, Ill.
Organ and tissue donation matters
At Gift of Hope Organ & Tissue Donor Network, our mission is to save and enhance the lives of as many people as possible through organ and tissue donation. Yet each year, far too many people tragically lose their lives waiting for a life-saving transplant due to the shortage of organ donors.
A greater diversity of registered donors can increase access to transplantation for those waiting for a second chance at life.
