One great way to support organ and tissue donation is to spread the word about your choice to become a donor. Many people have questions about donation. Aren’t always comfortable talking about our afterlife choices. Or, aren’t sure about becoming a donor.
Your willingness to talk with your family, friends and community about becoming a registered organ donor can help encourage others to sign up as well!
Tell Your Family You Want to Be a Donor
A great way to start your journey to spread the word of donation is telling your loved ones what your wishes are after you pass. Letting your family know you’d like to be a donor and that you’ve registered can start an important conversation.
This conversation can help make sure your family is aware of your wishes. And, ensure they are respected once you’ve passed away. It is also a chance for your loved ones to learn a little more about donation. They can ask you questions, open their eyes to donation, and possibly encourage them to become a donor themselves.
