The most important thing is that our family and loved ones are aware of our desire to donate.

Why?

Because they, ultimately, are those who will enable your will to be done.

Even if your driver’s license indicates that you are a donor, or if you have a postage signed donor card (both documents are legal), the donation of organs and tissues is always analyzed and discussed with your family before any donation. To make sure your family understands your wishes, it is very important that you report them of your decision to donate in/after life.

Once you’ve decided to and become a donor, the most important step is to tell your family members and loved ones. To talk to them about donating organs and tissues, is talking about the opportunity to offer another person a second chance at life.

Please make sure that your family members are witnesses when you sign your donor card so they know your wishes to donate life.
