The impact of one organ and tissue donor is extraordinary. One organ donor can save as many as eight lives through the gifts of their lungs, liver, heart, kidneys, pancreas, and intestines. One tissue donor can improve the lives of 75 or more people.

“There’s no future that’s not open to him. We owe it all to the donor family.”
