Give the Gift of Life
Finn's gift saved seven lives.
Nearly 113,000 people are currently waiting for an organ transplant nationally, and a new person is added to the waiting list every 10 minutes. Of those on the waiting list, about 2,800 are Michigan residents, yet some areas of Michigan still have a relatively low number of adults registered as organ donors. The number of Michigan patients waiting remains high because there aren’t enough donated organs to meet the need for transplants; in fact, only a small percentage of people die in a way that makes organ donation medically possible. Because of this, it is critical that every opportunity for donation is acted upon and that anyone who supports organ donation registers to be an organ donor. |
