During National Donate Life Month in April, we honor the people who have given the gift of life through organ, eye and tissue donation. This year’s theme uses trees as a symbol of life and connection. Each year, National Donate Life Month helps raise awareness about donation, encourages Americans to register as organ, eye and tissue donors and to honor those who have saved lives through the gift of donation. https://loom.ly/tFOSqIs
