Right now, a man struggles to take ten steps without losing his breath. A woman is chronically fatigued due to the effects of kidney failure. A child with diabetes faces daily, relentless pain. You may not know them, but you have the power to change their lives. One organ donor can save up to eight lives, creating a ripple effect that touches countless others. Your decision to donate is more than a gift—it’s a legacy of hope, healing, and second chances. This is your journey to donation.

You're considering becoming an organ donor, but you have some concerns. Maybe you've heard the myth that doctors won’t work as hard to save your life if you’re a registered donor. Rest assured, this is completely false—medical professionals are bound by the Hippocratic Oath to do everything possible to save every patient, regardless of their donation status. If your hesitation stems from religious beliefs, that’s a valid consideration. However, most major religions support organ donation as an act of compassion and generosity. Before making your decision, take the time to understand your faith’s perspective. To learn more about common misconceptions, click the button below.
