Organ donors honored in book, Honolulu, Hawaii
Source: Honolulu Star Advertiser


The "Na Makana Pau 'Ole: Gifts Without End" book features 135 quilt squares with the heart-wrenching stories of organ donors. Entries were written by the donors' families.

A book dedication will be held at 3 p.m. next Sunday at the Louis Pohl Gallery, located at 1142 Bethel St.

The book project was developed as part of a program to promote the organ donor registry and honor families who had to consent to organ donation during traumatic situations. Quilt squares were gathered during the past 10 years. The quilts will be displayed in the gallery April 4-7 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Books can be ordered online at www.kidneyhi.org or by calling 593-1515. To register as an organ and tissue donor, visit www.legacyoflifehawaii.org.
