National Donate Life Month

The first thing you need to do to become a donor is to register when you renew your driver's license. Then check to see if there are any state requirements and paper work that need to be completed. And finally it is important to talk to your family about your decision to donate your organs.

Giving your consent to donate your organs gives someone else a second chance at life. As of today there are over 98,000 people on the donor waiting list. This is a selfless and miraculous gift you can pass on to a family member or a complete stranger that will change their lives.
