Every eight minutes, someone new is added to the national organ transplant waiting list, which has more than 103,000 people on it, the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration reports. Registering as an organ donor won’t affect your medical care, and it takes just minutes to register.

The more we open up about our experiences, the more we create a safe space for others to seek support. Let's build a community where mental health is openly discussed and support is readily available. We are all in this together.
