Quotations: Donate Life!
Don't think of organ donations as giving up part of yourself to keep a total stranger alive. It's really a total stranger giving up almost all of themselves to keep part of you alive. ~Author unknown
Don't take your organs to heaven with you. Heaven knows we need them here. ~Author unknown
Be a blood and organ donor. All it costs is a little love. ~Author unknown
By becoming an organ donor, one person can save the lives of up to eight people and improve the lives of dozens — mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, brothers and sisters — who are desperately in need of a transplant. During National Donate Life Month, we lift up the thousands of selfless individuals across America who are living or registered organ donors. ~Barack Obama, Presidential Proclamation — National Donate Life Month, 2016
...the blood, that fragile scarlet tree we carry within us... ~Osbert Sitwell, Left Hand, Right Hand!, Volume I: The Cruel Month, 1945
Last year, the United States exceeded 30,000 annual organ transplants for the first time. Progress has been made and great promise exists, but much work remains to help the more than 120,000 Americans on the organ waiting list. This month, let us remember those we have lost and provide support to all who continue to wait and hope... Together, we can improve and save lives by celebrating those who give of themselves — whether as living donors or as registered donors — to provide the greatest gift there is to offer. ~Barack Obama, Presidential Proclamation — National Donate Life Month, 2016

Have you had a kindness shown,
Pass it on.
’Twas not given for you alone,
Pass it on.
Let it travel down the years,
Let it wipe another's tears...
Be a star in some one's sky,
He may live who else might die,
Pass it on.
~Rev. Henry Burton, "Pass It On," 1898
Nobody can do everything, but everyone can do something. ~Author unknown

But I am one.

And what I ought to do,
God helping me, I will do.
