Donating organs, giving life

Lake Oswego Review | Cliff Newell
Because of organ donation, Laura Boyer’s baby daughter received the gift of life.

Now the Lake Oswego woman is working for others to receive that same gift through Donate Life Northwest — especially because April is Donate Life Month.

Laura Boyer is so eager to share her story that she has just completed her training as a speaker for Donate Life Northwest.

“I want to make more people aware of Donate Life, and I want to dispel myths about organ donation,” Boyer said. “When I was growing up, I was actually told that doctors would let their patients die so they could get the organs.

“Donate Life gets people to think about the future and what can happen. There is so much people can learn about organ donation.”
