The resolution recognizes the significant impact of organ, eye, and tissue donation in Washington State, highlighting the selfless contributions of citizens who have chosen to donate. It emphasizes the urgent need for awareness regarding the life-saving potential of donations, as nearly 106,000 Americans are currently awaiting transplants, with 22 individuals dying each day due to organ shortages. The resolution underscores the profound benefits of donation, including the ability to save up to eight lives per donor and the comfort it provides to grieving families, knowing their loved ones have made a difference.

In light of these points, the resolution designates April as National Donate Life Month in Washington State. This month serves as a time to honor donors and celebrate the lives of transplant recipients, while also encouraging citizens to register as organ, eye, and tissue donors. The resolution aims to promote education and motivation around the importance of donation, reflecting the compassion and character of those who choose to give the gift of life.
