The resolution highlights the critical need for organ, eye, and tissue donations in the United States, where over 100,000 individuals are currently on waiting lists for life-saving transplants. It emphasizes the urgency of the situation, noting that a new person is added to the waiting list every eight minutes and that 13 lives are lost daily due to a lack of available donations. The resolution acknowledges the profound impact that a single donor can have, potentially saving eight lives and enhancing the lives of many more. It also recognizes the selfless acts of donors and their families, who choose to give the gift of life to strangers, demonstrating compassion and love.

In light of these pressing issues, the resolution declares April as National Donate Life Month in Washington State, aiming to raise awareness about the importance of organ, eye, and tissue donations. It calls for honoring the memory of donors, appreciating the recipients of transplants, and encouraging the public to consider becoming donors themselves. The resolution seeks to foster a collective effort to increase awareness and support for organ donation, ultimately bringing hope and encouragement to those awaiting transplants.
