What Can Be Donated

The gifts of donation given by just one person can impact so many. One organ donor can save the lives of up to eight people.  One organ, eye, and tissue donor can save and heal the lives of more than 75 men, women, and children. Donated tissues are used by doctors every day to save and enhance the quality of peoples’ lives. Donated skin saves the lives of burn victims,  bones save limbs from amputation, corneas restore sight to the blind, and other tissues repair damaged tendons and cartilage like in breast reconstruction after mastectomy. Register your donation decision now and save and heal for so many others.   Listen to a cornea recipient share their experience with the gift of sight

Gifts of Donation

Stories

The stories of our donor and recipient families are powerful, moving celebrations of life, hope, and love that get to the heart of why we do what we do, and the difference we can all make. Lifebanc believes that anyone can be a hero – and we see it every day in the generous decisions of people and families who choose and support organ and tissue donation. We’d like you to meet some of these heroes, and some of the Northeast Ohio neighbors they are helping.
