Was your life saved by the generous gift of blood, tissue or cord blood? Or are you a donor who’d like to share why you chose to save a life?
Birth tissue includes the placenta and umbilical cord. These are often discarded after a healthy birth, but birth tissue may be used to help treat burns, diabetic ulcers, and traumatic injuries, in addition to developing new therapies.
“I feel overjoyed with hope and pride that my baby and I have helped other people. I can’t wait to tell my son that he was able to help others by simply being born.”
