3	9		recognize April 29, 2025 as Donate Life Texas Day at the State
4	10		Capitol; and
5	11		WHEREAS, National Donate Life Month is observed each April
6	12		to celebrate the incredible individuals who have benevolently
7	13		given the gift of life through eye, organ, and tissue donations
8	14		and to raise awareness of the vital need for registered donors in
9	15		our state and nation; and
10	16		WHEREAS, A single organ donor can save up to eight lives,
11	17		and tissue and corneal transplants from one individual have the
12	18		potential to restore the health of up to 75 people; and
13	19		WHEREAS, Although there are more than 10,000 people of all
14	20		ages and backgrounds currently awaiting a lifesaving organ
15	21		transplant in Texas, the demand for donations vastly exceeds the

18	24		eligible Texans are currently registered as donors; and
