While many countries practice an "opt-out" organ donation model, the US requires that citizens "opt-in" individually as donors. Sadly, while the vast majority of Americans support the idea of organ donation, many simply don't get around to documenting their choice proactively before tragedy strikes.
We know that Eddie's future depends on another family's selfless donor decision. To research organ donation and officially register you and your children as organ donors, follow the link on the Donate Life America website, or directly here.
Thanks!
