Friend,
​
You have made the most important decision of your life. For you have chosen Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. I’m so proud of you! I would love to pray for you as you go about your journey.
Contact me and I will add you to my prayer list!
Now you will want to get into a good Bible believing and Bible teaching church. Church families are the best. If you are struggling or don’t know where or how to begin looking for a church, let me know and I’ll reach out to my connections. Think of it like this, you are a new little rose bud. Knowing with the rose comes growth and thorns. As you grow in your relationship with Christ there will be trials, but now you have Jesus to help you through.
​
Again, I'm so proud of you and I'm looking forward to watching your journey with Christ grown and blossom!
Tina Hunt
Saving Souls, Saving Lives

Who can donate and how?Anyone can become an organ donor, no matter your age. Your medical condition at the time of death will determine what organs and tissue can be donated. If you would like to declare your choice to be an organ donor, be sure to enroll in your state’s donor registry and share your decision with your family and friends. Your decision to donate life can help to save many lives.

What is organ transplantation? Which organs can be transplanted?If you have a medical condition that may cause one or more of your vital organs to fail, transplant may be a treatment option. A transplant is a surgical operation to give a functioning human organ to someone whose organ has stopped working or is close to failing. In some cases, a living person can donate all or part of a functioning organ. In other instances, the donor would be someone who has recently passed away. The organs that can be transplanted are: Liver Kidney Pancreas Kidney-pancreas (can be transplanted at the same time) Heart Lung Heart-lung (can be transplanted at the same time) Intestine Vascularized composite allografts, or VCAs, such as face, hand or uterus transplantation

103,851people need a lifesaving organ transplant (total waiting list candidates). Of those, 58,704 people are active waiting list candidates.
-
What is a waitlist?The waitlist is a list of candidates registered to receive organ transplants. When a donor organ becomes available, the matching system dynamically generates a new, specific list of potential recipients based on the criteria defined in that organ’s allocation policy (e.g., organ type, geographic local and regional area, genetic compatibility measures, details about the condition of the organ, the candidate’s disease severity, time spent waiting, etc.).
-
What factors are considered in organ matching and allocation?Many medical and logistical characteristics are considered for an organ to be distributed to the best-matched potential organ recipient. While the specific criteria differ for various organs, matching criteria generally include: Blood type and size of the organ(s) needed Time spent awaiting a transplant The relative distance between donor and recipient For certain organs other factors are vital, including: The medical urgency of the recipient The degree of immune system match between donor and recipient Whether the recipient is a child or an adult
