Have a heart

Hi friends - please consider joining me & my husband by registering to become and organ and tissue donor. April is designated as Donate Life Month, and in Michigan alone 3,000 residents are waiting to receive hearts, livers, lungs, kidney and other organs; but last year in Michigan only 327 people donated organs (which in itself was a record). Nationwide, the number of people waiting for donors is 100,000. God forbid that any of our lives or our loved ones are cut short, but if so your physical body can help so many. One local mother reported that her son Tim tragically died at 17 yrs old in a car accident, but as he was a donor 7 people received his healthy organs and another 158 people were recipients of his tissue donations - what a gift!

Leave a legacy of generosity - join via www.giftoflifemichigan.org or in another states check your state government website.
