Every September, we celebrate National DMV Appreciation Month which is a great time to share our gratitude with the Nevada DMV for their important role in saving and healing lives through donation. Do you have a red heart on your license? Then YOU are a Hero! On the day you made that choice, you also sat across from a hero (working on our front line). We simply cannot serve our mission without them and are grateful for their support. Help us share gratitude with these unsung heroes by telling them ‘THANK YOU’ next time you are at one of their offices!

El día en que tomaste esa decisión, también conociste a un héroe (la persona que te ayudó con tu trámite). Simplemente no podemos cumplir nuestra misión sin su apoyo y estamos completamente agradecidos por ello. Ayúdanos a expandir esta gratitud diciéndoles ‘GRACIAS’ la próxima vez que estés en una de sus oficinas.

In 2023, more than 23,000 organ transplants were received by a multicultural community member. Diabetes and high blood pressure are the most common illnesses that lead to kidney failure, which happens to be the most waited for organ. 86% of patients on the waiting list need a kidney transplant and the average waiting time for a kidney from a heroic deceased donor is three to five years. Transplants of all types renew the lives of patients and their loved ones. Help us to end the wait by becoming a registered donor hero at https://hubs.li/Q02MNjhZ0

In honor of National Multicultural Donor Awareness Month (NMDAM), we are honored to share the stories of the heroic donors we serve. Meet Gerardo. His loved ones shared… En el brillo del sol y bajo la luna, we honor the memory of Gerardo Gutierrez Pena. The hardest working father whose sacrifice and love, forever we will miss. His journey was one of resilience, sacrifice and unwavering determination. He left his homeland in search of a better life for his family, and through his sheer perseverance, he carved a path of opportunity for his children to thrive. En tierras extrañas, él encontró su hogar. He was a man of few words, but his actions spoke loud. His hands, weathered by hard work, bore witness to the sacrifices he made to provide for those he loved. Su amor incondicional, en cada acto, se mostró. Por sus sueños y sacrificios, we give thanks today. His spirit lives on in each of his children and grandchildren, inspiring us to embrace life with resilience, compassion and gratitude. Nuestro amor es eterno. Are you inspired to give the ultimate gift of life like Gerardo? Register now and be a hero: https://hubs.li/Q02Mf5KJ0

While the United Network for Organ Sharing states that transplants can be successful regardless of the ethnicity or race of a heroic donor and recipient, the chance of longer-term survival may be greater if the donor and recipient are closely matched in terms of their shared genetic background. It is extremely important for everyone to become registered organ, eye and tissue donors. Bring hope to those waiting by saying ‘YES’ at https://hubs.li/Q02LCj440

Aunque la Unidad de Red de Intercambio de Órganos (UNOS) afirma que los trasplantes pueden tener éxito independientemente de la etnia o raza del donante y del beneficiario, la probabilidad de supervivencia a largo plazo puede ser mayor si el donante y el beneficiario son compatibles en términos de sus antecedentes genéticos. Es extremadamente importante que personas de todas las edades, etnias y razas se registren como donantes de órganos, ojos y tejidos (especialmente de comunidades multiculturales) y brinden esperanza a aquellos que esperan una segunda oportunidad en la vida. Digamos ‘SÍ’ a la donación en: https://hubs.li/Q02LChmg0

Right now, more than 100,000 Americans are desperately waiting for their second chance at life through organ donation and nearly 700 of them are Nevadans.

When it comes to saving lives through organ donation, a diverse community of registered heroes are important. Encourage those you care about to join you: https://hubs.li/Q02KQpCj0
