    I lost my husband eight years ago and the only organ that was still viable was his corneas. I received a letter from the eye bank a month later stating that they were successfully transplanted. Someone that couldn’t see yesterday could see today. I imagine they thank my husband daily, it helps me. Organ donation did help me in my grieving, please everyone consider donating.

    The heart beating in my brother's chest came from a young man who checked the donor box on his driver's license. That young man saved several lives by doing so. Every hospital should have an honor wall where the names of the heroes who have donated organs that saved lives are inscribed. It should have next to each name the number of lives saved and the number improved as a result of their sacrifice and generosity. The wall should be in a conspicuous place where the public can see it.

That's were I would start...if they tell you it's not up to them or just kinda nod without any follow through ask the individual where u should go to give this suggestion to.

      @kelleymcfadden9675 2 года назад +7

      The most important decision you will ever make is where you will spend eternity.
      THIS IS GOD'S ONE AND ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN:
      In the beginning, God created Adam and Eve and wanted to have perfect fellowship with them, but He gave them 1 rule to obey and that was not to eat of the tree in the middle of the garden called, "The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil"
      Adam chose to disobey and sinned against God and this broke that perfect fellowship between man and his Creator. Because of this, the curse of sin and death came upon them and all the human race.
      Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
      In order to enter into heaven, there are a few things you must understand. You must understand and acknowledge that YOU are a sinner and your sin separates you from God.
      Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
      1John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
      A holy, righteous God cannot allow sin into heaven and sin must be punished. God's price for sin is death, not just a physical death, but death in hell in a lake of fire.
      Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
      In the Old Testament times, when man sinned, God required them to kill a perfect, spotless lamb and to sprinkle its blood on the altar as a sacrifice for their sins. Jesus Christ, God's Son became that perfect, spotless Lamb that was sacrificed for the sins of the whole world. It was His blood that satisfied the just demands of a holy God.
      John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
      Jesus loved us so much He WILLINGLY came and allowed wicked men to spit on Him, mock Him and beat Him until He was unrecognizable. They stripped him naked, thrust a crown of thorns on His head and drove nails into His hands and feet. He hung in agony for hours bleeding. He died in our place so that we could be saved from going to hell. There is no greater love than that!
      John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
      The good news is that Jesus didn't stay dead in the grave. He came back to life 3 days later just like He said He would. And that proved that He was God! No one else could do that.
      Matthew 28:5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
      6. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
      Jesus did all this because He wants to give you the free gift of eternal life in heaven with Him!
      You cannot do anything to earn your own way into Heaven. You can't work for it, be baptized for it, go to church for it or try to be good enough for it. It is a free gift that God is offering to anyone who will simply receive it by faith.
      Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
      Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
      9. Not of works, lest any man should boast.
      God said there is only one way to get to heaven, but it is not hard. You must admit you are a sinner and that you understand that the punishment for sin is eternal torment in hell in a lake of fire. You must understand that Jesus took that punishment for you when He died on the cross and shed His blood to pay for your sins and that He rose from the grave 3 days later. That is the gospel. If you believe these things, then all you have to do is humbly admit to God that you are a sinner deserving of hell, but you believe that he paid for your sins on the cross and rose again 3 days later. Ask him to forgive you and be merciful to you and give you eternal life. Thank Him for His saving you.
      Romans 10:9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
      13. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
      Let me warn you though, that if you don't get saved, and you reject God's sacrifice for you, you are already condemned and will suffer the torment of burning in hell for eternity in a lake of fire where you will be forever separated from God and all that is loving and good. God is holy and you must come His way or no way.
      John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
      Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
      Please don't wait. Don't take the risk of putting it off until another day, repent, turn to Christ NOW because you aren't guaranteed to live another day on this Earth. Believe God's Word and call on Him today!

    My cousin (Ashley Allphin) was an RN a newlywed, and the only cousin I had who accepted me. She was on her way to work when she was struck by a drunk driver speeding the wrong way down the highway. I'm so proud that she had already chosen to be an organ donor. While her death was a terrible blow to our entire family, it helps to know that her even after death, she continued to be able to help patients as she loved to do so much in real life. I am an organ donor because if something happens to me, I know the difference that it can make for other people. Thank you, Ashley. I love you and miss you every day, your nephew still carries around the little doctor bag you gave him, it's been three years, but he still carries it around calling it his aunti box.

    If something like this happens to me, I'll give one message to doctors, that, "Whoever you donate my organs, just tell them to enjoy their life for me"

    They say “Greater love has no one than this:To lay Dani one’s life for his friends”
    I also think to lay down one’s life for strangers is as great.

    The greatest gift anyone can give is life. This young man gave eight people the ability to continue living. His life for eight lives. I can't imagine the heartache of his family and friends, but he's surely still living. Living through those eight people and living in each of his loved ones hearts. This hero will live for all eternity 💜
    My heart goes to the family that ultimately had to make the decision to take him off life support. I know first hand the turmoil of pain and questions it brings. Prayers for all

    I am a donor and I wished everyone would think the same as save lives before we got.
    God bless

    Just came across this video today. Wow, in tears watching this. I live in Scotland and have never heard of "Code Hero" before. What an incredibly sad but courageous act for all concerned. My condolences and respect to Dylans friends and family.

    I will say this time doesn’t heal a mother’s heart And sometimes the best things to say is nothing for words need not be spoken , for God is the only one to dry a mother’s tears and heal her heart.
