A light of hope
The second Saturday of November is Organ Donation Day in Hong Kong. In this edition of HASLink, a donor family and a recipient were invited to share their moving and life-enhancing stories.
Organ donation is the greatest gift of life. It gives new life to those who are dying, and is a miraculous light in the darkness for people whose hope is fading. This is the inspiration for our headline ‘Life goes on’. In our interviews, you will learn how a donor family acted out of selfless love and donated the cornea of loved ones twice, and how an organ recipient is living a fulfilling life by giving back to the society for 30 years after a heart transplant to show his heartfelt thanks to the donor. These stories illustrate how life really can go on.
In many cases, family members do not know the wishes of loved ones when they pass away. Sadly, they often decide not to donate organs. This is a missed opportunity to sustain another life. Speak out today and let your family members and friends know your wishes so that, should darkness fall, you can be among those who give the most precious gift of all and light up hope of those in need.
