You Are the Heart and Soul of What We Do
Advocate Update: Bruce Wolin
It is with a very heavy heart that I share the following update with you. Bruce Wolin, our Advocate for Life of 11 years, passed away on December 24, 2022. He passed away peacefully, surrounded by family. Bruce, a kidney recipient, will be forever remembered for his humor, heart for animals and dedication to organ, eye and tissue donation. Bruce volunteered alongside his wife and living kidney donor, Sherri.

If you would like to share a card with the Wolin Family, you may mail it to: Donor Alliance, Attn Mandy Dahm-Wolin Family, 200 Spruce Street, Suite 200, Denver, CO 80230.

We have complied a list of community resources for grief and posted them to the Volunteer Resources page, linked below. If there's anything we can do to help support you in any way, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Messaging Review: Is My Family Ever Charged for Organ Donation?
One of the most common myths we hear about donation is that there is an additional cost to the organ and tissue donor's family or their estate. That's simply not true, your donation is a gift!

The fact: There is no cost to the donor's family for organ, eye and tissue donation.

Many people who have never considered donation or have delayed signing up to become an organ, eye and tissue donor do so because of inaccurate information or assumptions about donation and transplantation. Click the button below to continue reading on the Discussing Donation site!
