#GivingThanks

Share your thanks!

This time of year, most of us stop, take a few minutes between the busyness of the preparations of the holidays to think of what we are grateful for. In our special community of donors, recipients, and others affected by donation and transplantation, our thoughts turn quickly to gratitude for the gifts of life, sight, and mobility. We are thankful for family members healed, graduations or weddings our loved ones will be able to attend, and hope that we have received because a donor and their family said yes. 

This holiday season, we are thankful for donors and their families, doctors, nurses, first responders, our community partners, and many others. But we cannot forget that even as we are thankful for second chances that many have already received, there are still more than 122,000 people waiting for their second chance. They are waiting for their chance to say "thank you" to the ones who save their lives. In their honor, we're asking you to help us spread some love, hope, and joy this weekend. You can help us by participating in our #GivingThanks campaign. Keep reading for more information...
