Families offered information about Organ Donation "The goal of this campaign is to equip people with tools and resources to have meaningful conversations about donation and transplantation." -- Dennis Loy From Dennis Loy, Adair County Circuit Clerk The Kentucky Circuit Court Clerk's Trust For Life (TFL) supports national effort to educate multicultural communities on organ donation through social media during ECHO Donate Life. From July 14-27, Donate Life America begins the annual campaign focused on making the message of organ donation one of diversity and inclusion. The goal of ECHO Donate Life is to empower communities to save and heal lives by registering as organ, eye and tissue donors when they get their driver's license or online. TFL was founded in 1992 as the charitable arm of the Kentucky Association of Circuit Court Clerks. The 501c(3) non-profit organization informs, educates, and encourages Kentuckians to be registered organ and tissue donors to save lives. "The goal of this campaign is to equip people with tools and resources to have meaningful conversations about donation and transplantation," Adair Co. Circuit Clerk, Dennis Loy said. "We want people across Kentucky to know that you can help save lives by using the power of your voice on social media and beyond. You can save others and foster community when you share your decision to register with family, friends, neighbors and coworkers." Crysta McGee is a TFL Community Educator and focuses on reaching out to minority communities. "We hope people will participate in ECHO Donate Life as part of their social media activity," McGee said. "I am optimistic that members of our multicultural communities will encourage friends and family to ECHO them by supporting organ and tissue donation by sharing social media posts and registering to be a donor." Aubree Layne, who was born in February 2013, will be one of the Kentucky transplant recipients featured on social media posts from TFL and Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates. Aubree was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy at 4 months old and received her gift of life, a heart transplant, when she was 6 months old. She now is spunky and full of life, energy and joy. Her proud mother, Tonita, says Aubree giggles and has the most beautiful scar that she willingly shows off. Aubree has check-ups every 4 months and surpassed her annual biopsy without rejection, yet again. Her favorite shirt is one that says "Team Aubree: An organ donor healed my broken heart!" "There are no age or health requirements to joining the Organ Donor Registry. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to join when you renew your license at my office. Every 'YES' gives hope to children like Aubree," says Loy. ECHO Donate Life was created in 2015 as a collaborative partnership between the Association for Multicultural Affairs in Transplantation (AMAT) and Donate Life America.
