This April marks the 11th annual National Donate Life Month, a celebration commemorating those who have given the gift of life through organ, eye and tissue donation. For those whose lives have been saved or healed by a transplant, Donate Life Month provides a chance to share their story to encourage more people to register as donors.
“Currently, more than 121,000 men, women, and children are awaiting organ transplants in the United States. Nearly 1,000 of these individuals reside right here in our Kentucky communities,” explains Butler Circuit Court Clerk, Melissa Cardwell.
