Why Donate Organs?

  • High Need: There is an increase in the number of people waiting for an organ transplant while there is also a shortage in the number of donors.
  • Save Lives: One organ donor can save or improve the lives of up to eight people, giving them a second chance at life.
  • No Cost: Organ donation is free for the donor’s family and doesn’t affect funeral arrangements or cost anything extra.
  • Peace of Mind: Knowing that your passing could bring new life to others can provide comfort and closure to loved ones.
