April is National Donate Life Month and it’s a time to reflect on the extraordinary gift of life made possible through organ donation. We honor the courageous individuals who choose to become living donors. Living donation can make a difference in the lives of individuals facing kidney disease and other serious medical conditions.
How You Can Get Involved during National Donate Life Month:
- Start a conversation: Talk with your family and friends about organ donation, including the possibility of living donation. Sharing your thoughts and encouraging open discussions can help dispel misconceptions and inspire others.
- Show your support: Wear blue and green throughout April to raise awareness for organ donation.
- Share your story: If you or someone you know has been touched by organ donation or living donation, consider sharing your experience to educate and inspire others.
- Support donation organizations: Numerous organizations are dedicated to promoting all forms of organ donation and supporting recipients. Explore opportunities to volunteer or contribute.
- Register as a donor: While living donation is a specific act, registering as a deceased donor is also a powerful way to make a difference. It takes just a few minutes to register online.
- Learn more: Visit www.DonateLifeCalifornia.org to learn more about both deceased and living donation and to register your decision.
We are proud to support living donation and encourage you to explore how you can be a part of this incredible gift. Your choice can bring renewed health and a brighter future to someone in need.
