A surprising consequence of the heroin epidemic sweeping our area. Life saving organ donations on the recall. How others are helping others in the wake of tragedy. Putting the epidemics into perspective. 49 people died from heroin overdoses died from the drug fentanyl and many families are trying to cope by saving lives. Adam was amazing young man. He was a Football Player and a former boy scout. Marlene shay says her son was an athlete and had an injury and started to take pain pills and then got hooked on heroin. He died from an overdose and he was 21 years old. When adam got his new license at 21, he made the decision to be an organ donor and we thought that is who knew six months later we would be honoring that decision. Adams family donated his kidneys and pancreas saving the lives of two women. Extremely generous sowl. Life bank handles donations in northeast ohio. Our overdoses have increased by 50 in two years. The life Bank Hospital clinical officer told me there is a major shift in the cause of death in donor candidates and it is connected to the heroin crisis. In 2013 deadly overdoses resulted in 19 donor candidates and 25 in 2014 and that number heroin. The organs are viable. We do many tests with each of our donors and just because someone passes away through an overdose and drug usage, it doesnt necessarily rule them out for organ donation. Leave no doubt, life bank and this mom would love to see it is a horrible tragedy but this is something that can allow them something beautiful to come out of a devastating thing. He gave the gift of life. He really did. Adams mom does speaking engagements talking about the importance of organ donation. One donor can save up to 8 lives and help up to 50 people.
