Koj qhov kev txiav txim siab tuaj yeem cawm tau txoj sia
You have the rare and powerful ability to save and heal lives through organ donation – fewer than 1% of people have this chance to help others.
Koj tuaj yeem pab tau coob tshaj 75 leej neeg
Donation is an incredible gift that preserves the circle of life. More than 2,700 people in our region are waiting for a life-saving transplant right now, and 140 of them identify as American Indian or Alaska Native. That’s simply because there aren’t enough organs for everyone who needs a transplant. If you know someone waiting for a transplant, directed donation may be an option.
It is important that if we want our community to survive, that we be part in helping people live. Organ donation is a way of helping people live.

Hear from Native community members impacted by donation
Michael A Goze Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin
“It’s important that if we want our community to survive, that we be part in helping people live. Organ donation is a way of helping people live.”
Patina Park Cheyenne River Sioux
“Donation is something that my husband and I have talked about. We have it in our health care directive so there’s no question from family or friends about what to do. I think everyone should have a conversation about donation with their loved ones.”
Live On: Greyson’s Story
“So when you check the box, remember the little boy with the black-rimmed glasses who smiled through every hardship,” said Joan Azure to her fellow tribal members. “By doing this, we’re honoring him. And we’re keeping him alive so to speak. And that’s what his legacy is all about.”
