Why you should Donate
Quality of life
Without the proper organs, quality of life for these people is very low. For example, if someone can't get a kidney donation, they will have to be on dialysis. Dialysis is something that people will have to get for ~12 hours each week to filter waste out of their bodies because they don't have kidneys to do that for them.

One healthy deceased donor can save up to 50 lives donating organs, tissues, and eyes. It is very helpful to became a donor to save lives. There are over 100,000 people waiting for donations in the US. Unfortunately, 8000 people die waiting for organs each year. Help lengthen lives by becoming a donor today.

For families who have lost loved ones, knowing that their deceased family members have saved lives can help the grieving process. These times can be very tough to get through, but a single deceased donor has the potential to save up to 8 lives.
