LifeSharers: Organs for organ donors
“If you ever need an organ for a transplant operation, chances are you will die before you get one. You can improve your odds by joining LifeSharers. It’s free. LifeSharers is a non-profit national network of organ donors. LifeSharers members promise to donate upon their death, & they give fellow members 1st access to their organs.”
