Give the gift of life: Become an organ donor
New Jersey has 4,000 people waiting for a life-saving transplant.
Not only do they need a tissue or organ donation, they also need a message of hope, says Alyssa D Addio, director of hospital and community services for the NJ Sharing Network.
Every three days, a person in New Jersey dies waiting for a transplant. Just one organ and tissue donor can save eight lives and enhance the lives of over 75 people.
Transplantable organs include heart, kidneys, liver, lung, pancreas and intestine. Transplantable tissues include corneas, heart valves, skin grafts and bone grafts, ligament and tendons.
