| H.C.R. No. 130 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Donate Life Texas Day is taking place on | ||
| April 29, 2025, during National Donate Life Month, to raise | ||
| awareness of the crucial need for organ, eye, and tissue donors; and | ||
| WHEREAS, At any given time, more than 100,000 men, women, and | ||
| children are on the national transplant waiting list, with an | ||
| estimated 10,000 residing in Texas; there are more Americans | ||
| awaiting lifesaving organ transplants than there are available | ||
| donors, and tragically, 17 people pass away every day before a match | ||
| can be found; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Over 90 percent of U.S. adults support organ | ||
| donation, but only approximately 60 percent of eligible Texans are | ||
| currently signed up to be donors; just one donor can save as many as | ||
| eight lives, and corneal and tissue transplants from a single | ||
| individual can help many more patients enjoy better health; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Donate Life America and its partnering | ||
| organizations established National Donate Life Month in 2003; each | ||
| April, groups and communities across the United States participate | ||
| in activities to encourage Americans to register as organ, eye, and | ||
| tissue donors and to celebrate those who have given the gift of life | ||
| as donors; and | ||
| WHEREAS, By promoting organ donation and donor registration, | ||
| we can provide hope to countless Americans for longer, healthier | ||
| lives, and this worthy cause is one that deserves the earnest | ||
| support of every Texan; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the 89th Legislature of the State of Texas | ||
| hereby recognize April 29, 2025, as Donate Life Texas Day and | ||
| commend all those who are working to promote organ, eye, and tissue | ||
| donation in Texas. | ||
