The resolution recognizes the significant impact of organ, eye, and tissue donation in Washington State, highlighting the selfless contributions of donors who have saved and healed countless lives. It emphasizes the urgent need for awareness about the organ donation process, as nearly 106,000 Americans are currently awaiting lifesaving transplants, with 22 individuals dying each day due to organ shortages. The resolution also notes that one donor can potentially save up to eight lives and provide comfort to grieving families by knowing their loved ones' donations have made a difference.

In honor of these contributions, the Washington State Senate designates April as National Donate Life Month, encouraging citizens to remember and celebrate both the donors and the recipients of organ transplants. The resolution serves to promote the values of compassion and generosity exemplified by donors, while also fostering a greater understanding of the importance of organ donation in improving the quality of life for many individuals and their families.
