Gavin was an 11-month old boy who was born with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency and needed an emergency liver transplant. He died while waiting for a donor liver. Organ donation can save many lives, as a single donor's organs may help up to 6 people through transplantation and over 50 people through tissue donation. However, over 80,000 people in the US are currently on organ transplant waiting lists and thousands die each year before receiving an organ. Most major religions support organ donation as a charitable act that can save lives.

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The
3. My name is Gavin. I am 11 months old. I was born with a genetic
disorder called Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency that caused my
liver to go into failure. I was misdiagnosed for 3 months and
underwent emergency surgery before they found out what was
wrong. I am on the Organ Donation List and am waiting for my
"gift of life" so I can have a liver transplant.
4. Gavin is not with us today
“It is our deepest sorrow to inform you that Gavin
passed away while waiting to receive a liver transplant.
He was only 14 days away from his 1st birthday.”
5. What is organ donation?
Organ donation is when you allow your organs or tissues to be
removed and given to someone else. Most donated organs and tissues
are from people who have died. But, a living person can donate some
organs. Blood, stem cells, and platelets can also be donated.
“Donation is possible while alive and after death”
6. Organ donors will save many
lives
According to the National Kidney Foundation, many patients die before they can find a donor
(2001).
1. 2,025 kidney patients
2. 1,347 liver patients
3. 458 heart patients
4. 361 lung patients
5. The Miami Herald states that, in total, over 6,000 patients die each year while waiting for organs that
never come (Lamas 3E).
The United Network for Organ Sharing states that over 80,000 patients are currently waiting
for transplants.
1. 10,489 transplants occurred from January to May 2003.
2. 5,390 donors made those transplants possible.
7. Organ donors will save many
lives
Germaine Allen, age 29, was lucky
She suffered two cardiac arrests due to kidney failure.
For five months she was in a near coma.
From 2000, she was on a waiting list with 450 other people.
4. Today, after a transplant at Jackson Memorial Hospital, the odds are she will live a normal
life for at least 18-20 years (Lamas 3E)
As an individual, you can save many lives (National Womenâ ™s Health Information€
Center).
Your organs could save as many as six lives.
Your organs could help as many as 50 other people
8. Don’t let myths prevent you
from donating.
You don’t have to be young and healthy to donate.
The National Kidney Foundation says people over 65 years of
age make good donors.
Among the organs they can provide are corneas, skin, and bone.
If needed, your family can prevent you from donating.
Families prevent donations about 35% of the time (National
Kidney Foundation).
Be sure your relatives know you want to donate
9. Don’t let myths prevent you
from donating.
Donated organs do continue to
work for a long time.
The National Kidney Foundation gives
the one-year survival rates for
transplants:
▪ Patients who receive kidneys from live
donors survive 97.7% of the time.
▪ Patients who receive livers survive 86.9 %
of the time.
▪ Patients who receive hearts survive 85.8%
of the time.
▪ Patients who receive lungs survive 75.8% of
the time.
Bone marrow and kidney transplants
are among those issues that can be
given by live donors.
10. Who cannot be an organ
donor?
People with certain medical conditions cannot
donate an organ. This includes people with:
HIV
Actively spreading brain cancer
Certain severe, current infections
In some cases, if you have another
disease or chronic medical
condition, you can still donate your
organs.
11. Religious viewpoints
Most religions, among them the Roman Catholic Church, support
organ donation on the grounds that it constitutes an act of charity
and provides a means of saving a life, although certain bodies, such
as the pope's, are not to be used.
Orthodox Judaism considers organ donation obligatory if it will save a
life, as long as the donor is considered dead as defined by Jewish law
13. You can easily sign a
living will
The National Institutes of Health identifies many organizations that can accept a tissue donation.
American Red Cross
Eye Bank Association of America
National Marrow Donor Program
National Organ and Tissue Donation Initiative
United Network for Organ Sharing
You can obtain a donor card from the American Medical Association (show Uniform Donor Card).
You need to be 18 years of age.
You need to have the card with you at all times.
You must tell your family you want to donate your tissues and organs.
14. You can easily sign a
living will
You will be a part of a growing number of Americans who plan to share themselves to save
other lives.
In Louisiana alone, the Times-Picayune reports that donors have increased from 400,000 to 800,000
since 1999.
The Sun-Sentinel tells us why donating is especially important for minority citizens:
“One-third of the 56,578 Americans waiting for
kidney transplants are black. And one-quarter of
the estimated 6,350 people who died waiting for a
new organ last year were black.”
15. “Gift for Gavin” is today “Gifts from Gavin”
Gavin was on earth to make change your thinking
16. “You may be one life to the world but
you could be the world to one life”.
