HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Do you ever think about what will happen after you die? Maybe you have family and friends that will mourn your death. Maybe a funeral or memorial service will be held and tears will fall. Maybe they will scatter your ashes or place your body in a tomb, never to be seen again. And then what?
Organ donation isn't something everyone likes to talk about, probably because death isn't something everyone likes to talk about. But you will die, and you have options after you pass as to what will happen to the organs and tissues that were a part of you.
A nonprofit organization headquartered in Houston hopes you choose to be an organ donor and let those parts of you give life to others.
LifeGift promotes organ donation awareness and facilitates lifesaving transplants. The organization recovers organs and tissue for individuals needing transplants in 109 counties in North, Southeast and West Texas.
This year, LifeGift is celebrating 25 years since its inception. During this silver anniversary year and every year, they reach out to educate the public about organ donation and the lives it saves.
