Operation HOPE’s Post

As National Donate Life Month approaches, I find myself deeply reflective and overwhelmingly grateful. This month isn't just a period on the calendar; it's a profound celebration of life, a time to honor the selfless donors and their families whose decisions have made life possible for many, including myself. I am here today, able to share this message, because of an extraordinary act of kindness—a decision made by a donor and their family during an unimaginably difficult time. Their generosity gave me a second chance at life, and words cannot express the depth of my gratitude. They are heroes in the truest sense, embodying compassion and selflessness. National Donate Life Month is an opportunity for us all to recognize and appreciate the gift of life that organ donation represents. It's a time to celebrate the lives saved, to acknowledge the ongoing need for organ donors, and to inspire others to consider becoming a part of this life-affirming process. Becoming an organ donor is a simple yet impactful decision. By registering as a donor, you have the power to save up to eight lives through organ donation and enhance many more through tissue donation. Moreover, living donation offers another profound opportunity to change lives, allowing individuals to donate a kidney or a part of the liver to someone in need. If you've ever considered becoming a donor—whether living or at the end of life—I encourage you to take the next step. Learn more, talk with your family, and register your decision. Your choice to become an organ donor can turn a time of loss into a time of hope for others. In this month of celebration and reflection, let's spread awareness, share our stories, and continue to build a legacy of generosity and hope. Together, we can save lives and honor those who have made our second chances possible. #NationalDonateLifeMonth #CelebrateLife #OrganDonation #LivingDonation #DonateLife

After dropping off winter items to an OKC public school collected by the Oklahoma Council on Economic Education's board of directors last week, I was asked by my own child's school to take their lost & found items from last semester to Goodwill. But I had a better idea and asked if I could donate those items to that OKCPS school. After washing and organizing those items, I counted 15 sweatshirts, 17 jackets, 2 coats, 9 winter hats, 6 gloves, and the list goes on. Most of these items were gently used, name brand items and each went to good homes or the clothes closet of that school yesterday! This got me thinking. Rather than simply donating unclaimed items from schools to places like Goodwill and the Salvation Army, why don't we first reach out to our Title 1 schools? We can easily stock their clothes closets with the nice clothes left behind at other schools. Can you imagine every school having a stocked clothes closet for their students in need?! Moral behind this share: Not only can you help in drives like Oklahoma City Public Schools Foundation's Coat-a-Kid, but you can help by donating that barely used coat or shoes your child grew out of to a school who has a child in need of that exact size. In every community there are students and families who need our help, and helping is easier than you think! When it's time for your child's school to donate the lost and found items, remember this post. If you're near me, reach out or share with your school's PTA/PTO. Bring the items to me and I'll do the rest! #clothescloset #title1 #donate #oklahomacity #oklahoma #publicschools #lostandfound #coatdrive #pta #pto
