WHAT IS YOUR WISH AND PASSION?

10/30/2010

0 Comments

 
As Founder of Windows of Strength, Limited, my wish and passion is not only to provide financial assistance to organ transplant recieipents with their non-medical costs, but also to promote public awareness of the need for organ donors. 

Statistics

Although there have been advances in medical technology and donation, the demand for organ, eye and tissue donation still vastly exceeds the number of donors.
  • More than 100,000 men, women and children currently need life-saving organ transplants.

  • Every 10 minutes another name is added to the national organ transplant waiting list.

  • An average of 18 people die each day from the lack of available organs for transplant.

  • In 2009, there were 8,021 deceased organ donors and 6,610 living organ donors resulting in 28,465 organ transplants.

  • Last year, more than 42,000 grafts were made available for transplant by eye banks within the United States.

  • According to research, 98% of all adults have heard about organ donation and 86% have heard of tissue donation.

  • 90% of Americans say they support donation, but only 30% know the essential steps to take to be a donor.
