Donor

Give my sight to the man who has never seen the sunrise, a baby’s glee or love in the eyes of a woman.
Give my heart to a person whose own heart has caused nothing but endless days of pain.
Give my blood to a teenager who was pulled from the wreckage of his car, so that he might live to see his Grandchildren play.
Give my kidneys to one who depends on a machine to exist from week to week.
Take my bones, every nerve and muscle in my body and find a way to make a crippled child walk.
Explore every corner of my brain, take my cells so that one day a speechless boy may shout at the crack of a bat and a deaf girl will hear the sound of rain against her window.
Burn what is left and scatter my ashes to the wind, to help the flowers grow.

If you must bury something let it be my faults, my weaknesses and all the prejudices against my fellow man.
Give my sins to the Devil.
Give my soul to God.
If by chance you wish to remember me, do it with a kind deed or word to someone who needs you.
If you do all I have asked, I will live forever.

A donor can help many people
Organs and tissue donated by a single person can save and enhance the lives of as many as 100 people. Every year the lives of about 500,000 Americans are saved and enhanced by organ and tissue donation.

Of course, donations also have a more dramatic effect. The lives of people suffering from heart and lung disease are saved. The blind can see once again through corneal transplantation. And donated bone can help restore function to crippled or injured limbs, or allow a patient with bone cancer to avoid amputation.

Eight vital organs and numerous bones and tissues can be donated. One simple act - letting your family know your wishes about donation - could one day make all the difference for someone desperately awaiting a transplant. Join the Registry today.

Give blood and platelets to the Red Cross
Each service the Red Cross provides makes our community healthier, stronger or more prepared. Please donate blood or platelets to help your community. Almost every person will know someone who needs blood – and there’s a one in three chance it will be you who needs blood or platelets. Don’t wait to donate blood – please help make sure the blood is tested, processed and ready to transfuse when that need arises.

If you are considering suicide, and you are not a drug user or other wise bad blood... please go give blood first. You are important, your blood and platelets can save lives. I don't believe you don't care about your life... I think you just want things to get better. I can not make any guarantees that life will be any easier. But go and tell someone that you are making one last effort to make your life meaningful. Ask what does your blood do for others. If you can hold onto life, give platelets every 2 weeks for 2 months. Than if you must... and feel you have no use in this life, I won't try to talk you out of it. Donate your time to the crisis center, Woman's Rape Center, or homeless shelter. Hey, since you are going to kill yourself anyway... take the time to help someone else first. What do you have to lose? Your life?

see my disclaimer at the bottom... I am not a medical doctor - seek help from professionals

The midi playing is Vanessa Williams "Save the Best For Last." Isn't that so true if we give our organs and what is left after our spirit is gone...we truly have saved the best for last.
