| The Gift of Life — “Yes I Will” |
|
By Mary Ircink June 2010 “But I trust in you, O Lord; I say, “You are my God.” My times are in your hand…” Psalm 31: 14-15 When renewing your Wisconsin driver’s license you have the opportunity to add an “orange dot.” The orange donor dot is a visible way to show your willingness to be an organ, tissue and eye donor. However, the dot doesn’t “legally authorize” the donation. Now there is a new confidential online registry where anyone older than 15 ½ years with a driver’s license or state identification card can use this web site to give legal authorization to make organ donations when they die. It’s important to register even if you already have a dot on your driver’s license. The registry is easily accessible by donation professionals who can confirm a donor’s intentions and save valuable time in the donation process. By saying “Yes I Will” through organ donation, the selfless act of one person can be a new beginning for as many as eight others in need. Many more can receive the gift of sight through eye donation, or greatly improved health through tissue donation. I hope that you will consider this “gift of life” and make the decision to go to the above web site to register your intent to be a donor. |
