The Gift of Life
More than 100,000 Americans are waiting for
lifesaving organ transplants and many more wait for
donated tissues.
On average, 17 people in this country die every day
- 6,600 each year - waiting for organ transplant.
The
reason is simple -- a tragic shortage of donated organs
and tissues.
Register
as a donor online
Although most people support donation, many
have not taken the important step of signing up to
be a donor. Now it is easier than ever to make your
wishes known by signing up at the Donate Life
New England Organ and Tissue Donor Registry.
Go to Donate Life
New England now to register:
www.DonateLifeNewEngland.org
and join us on Facebook and Twitter
 
Most New England states
also allow you to register on your driver's license.
That is also a good way to become a donor. For more
information about your state, click the links below.
Connecticut
Maine
Massachusetts
New Hampshire
Rhode Island
All these states currently offer the ability to signup
for organ and tissue donation through the DMV
license process when you renew your drivers license. Maine and Massachusetts allow drivers to register as donors online at anytime.
When you sign up to be a donor, you are consenting to be an organ
and tissue donor. If you wish to specify or limit your
donation to a certain type of donation, organ or tissue,
please use the Donate Life New England Registry where
you will be given the opportunity to limit your gift
as you wish.
Which ever way you choose to declare yourself
a donor, it is always a good idea to inform your family
of your
decision
to donate and to urge them to do the same.
Make a Financial Contribution
Your tax deductible donation will be used to raise awareness of the continued need for organs and tissues for transplant. Contributions go directly to a fund dedicated to increasing the number of registered organ and tissue donors in New England.
