National Organ Donor Sabbath

The weekend of November 14-16, 2008 will be observed as an interfaith celebration of the gifts of hope provided through organ and tissue donation and transplantation. Children and adults all over this country are in need of this life saving gift...I see it every day I am at work. Mothers holding their sick babies day after day while waiting for a new heart. Toddlers walking around the hospital pushing their IV pole day after day while waiting for a new liver. Someone's life will end as another begins. It is so hard.

"Transplantation can save lives, but only if generous individuals and families say yes to donation. One donor may save or improve life for more than 50 recipients. Those who donate organs, tissue, and blood stem cells restore hope and share gifts beyond measure."
