ECHO a Life-Saving Message!

Hello! Hola! Xin Chào! 您好!

For the next two weeks, I’ll be participating in Donate Life ECHO! I’m calling on all my friends to help me spread the word!

ECHO stands for Every Community Has Opportunity and was created to encourage people from all walks of life to share their wishes to become organ and tissue donors! The concept of the ECHO is so cool – one person shares their life-saving decision, followed by another and another! Can you hear it?!

What makes ECHO so important is the crucial role multicultural communities play in donation. In fact, out of the nearly 124,000 people waiting for an organ transplant, approximately 77,633 are multicultural patients! WOW!

Here’s how you can help NJ Sharing Network recognize Donate Life ECHO:

·         Register to be an organ and tissue donor here.

·         Have the conversation about donation with your family.

·         Fill out an ECHO speech bubble to show your support – download here:

·         Participate in the ECHO photo campaign on our Facebook page.

·         Host a Lily’s Laces reading at your local library or summer camp. Please contact Veronica Horvath at 908-516-5637 for more information.

 

Thank you so much for your support! I can’t wait to see all of your fun photos! Like mine?

 

XOXO,

Ms. Pumps

 

P.S. – National Minority Donor Awareness Week is coming up, August 1-7!

National Minority Donor Awareness Week was created to increase awareness of the need for organ and tissue donors, especially among minority communities. During this special time, we honor minorities who gave the Gift of Life, and encourages others to have the conversation with their families! Can’t wait to celebrate this with everyone, too!
