Human Rights Day is a reminder that every person deserves the chance to live fully.

For thousands on the North Carolina transplant waiting list, that chance depends on organ donation.

Donors and their families honor the right to life in the most powerful way: By giving others the opportunity to live the life they’re still fighting for.

“This is not my story. This is our story.”

Priya says her transplant journey has never been hers alone. “It’s not only about me, but my family, too. They helped me get where I am today. Because of the person who donated their organ, I get to live a healthier life, and I get to bring life to this earth.”

After years of surgeries, pain, and seven long years on hemodialysis, Priya received an anonymous kidney donation in 2013, and everything changed.

“I never had so much energy before. I’m perfect. I never felt so healthy, because I’ve always been sick, always been having pain.”

Today, Priya volunteers to help others understand the power of organ donation, spreading hope from her own lived experience.

This Giving Tuesday, help us share more stories like Priya’s.

Your gift inspires more people to register as donors, which means more families are supported, and more lives are changed.

💙💚 Please help us honor her message.

⏰ With less than 24 hours to go until Giving Tuesday, we need your help more than ever! ⏰

In September 2011, Ezequiel’s son, Rey, passed away in a motorcycle accident. A beloved teacher and coach, Rey became a tissue donor; his corneas, heart valves, and bone tissue helped heal others’ lives.

For Ezequiel and his wife, Iris, the decision to say “yes” to donation remains one of the most important their family has ever made. Inspired by his son’s generosity and driven to keep his spirit alive, Ezequiel ran his first-ever 5K at age 67 and has continued to complete close to 100 races.

“Some believe they’re too old to be donors, others worry that if they register, doctors won’t work as hard to save them in an emergency. These myths can be dangerous and prevent lives from being saved. We are here to change that by sharing the truth, educating families, and showing them that donation is a powerful and selfless act of love.”

This Giving Tuesday, help us share stories like Ezequiel and Rey's to combat misinformation and help save lives! You can make a difference by being a giver AND a donor: give.classy.org/DLNC

What began as a serious gallbladder infection for Christa Ogden has turned into more than two decades of recurring infections, hospitalizations, and complications.

In recent years, Christa’s health has declined as her liver damage has progressed, affecting her kidneys and other organs. Now, she is waiting for a liver transplant, the only treatment that can save her life. When asked what a transplant would mean for her family, Christa shared that it would mean “my kids get their mama back.”

For her, it represents the chance to live again, to go camping, fishing, hiking, and to enjoy life with her children. Christa hopes her story inspires others to consider living donation and to help save lives. “I wanted to share my struggles and be open about what I’m going through. I want people to apply to be a living donor.”

Her courage and advocacy continue to inspire many within the Native American and transplant communities. Learn more about how you can save a life like Christa's at DonateLifeNC.org!
