Two-time lung recipient gives hope to those waiting for a miracle
“This transplant process has blessed me so much,” he said. “Even after the first transplant, I felt like a walking miracle. Then I got another chance. I want to turn this tragedy of needing two transplants into a blessing for other people.”
Become a Donor
Making a Difference
Organ and tissue donation embodies one simple truth: You have the power to save and improve lives by deciding to be a donor.
Many people don't think about organ and tissue donation until it directly affects their lives. When the topic comes up, many realize they have lingering questions about donation. We are here to answer those questions and correct the many misconceptions about donation.
The life of every Michigan patient waiting for an organ transplant depends upon people making educated, compassionate decisions about being an organ, tissue and eye donor.
Donation in Multicultural Communities
Since 1971, Gift of Life Michigan has honored life by connecting people who need vital organ and tissue transplants with donors.
