Donate Life: April Is Organ Donation Awareness Month

April is the month set aside to give thought to organ donation, the hope that it provides those who are facing mortality, and honor those who have given life through a donation.  Did you know that all major religions recognize organ donation as a final act of compassion and generosity?  If you have ever read the testimonials of loved ones who have watched others receive a life-giving donation from a deceased friend or relative, you would see how powerful and lasting this act can be, often helping with grief tremendously.  It costs nothing to donate and gives so much to someone in desperate need.  By registering yourself, you relieve your family members of what can be a very difficult decision, especially if the death is sudden and unexpected.  Want to know more?  Here is the link for more information and can direct you to RegisterMe.org for your decision to be a donor.
