LifeShare Celebrates Annual Donate Life Month
Organization Continues to Raise Awareness for Donation
OKLAHOMA CITY (April 1, 2024) - Each April, LifeShare Oklahoma celebrates Donate Life Month, a month-long observance to focus attention on the need for organ, eye and tissue donation. The celebration is about the importance of registering your decision to be a donor and celebrating the hope that can be given through this decision.
LifeShare Oklahoma is the organ procurement organization in Oklahoma responsible for the recovery of organs and tissue for transplant.
This year’s Donate Life Month theme is “Inspiring Hope and Healing” with an image of a paper crane – which is a symbol of hope, healing, and transformation -- much like the journey of organ donation. In Japanese culture, folding 1,000 origami cranes is believed to grant a wish or bring good fortune. Similarly, organ donation represents the gift of life, granting hope and a second chance to those in need.
Each fold in a paper crane symbolizes the care, consideration, and precision that goes into the process of organ donation. Just as each fold shapes the crane, every step in the donation process, from registration to the transplant itself, molds a new opportunity for someone to live a fuller life.
With help from the organization’s volunteers and staff – LifeShare has folded 1,000 paper cranes. Look for them throughout the state during the month of April, the symbol of hope and healing that occurs through organ and tissue donation.
With continued record-breaking numbers to date, LifeShare inspires hope everywhere by saving more lives and inspiring hope. Join us today in offering hope and healing to those in need. Register to be an organ, eye, and tissue donor today!
