Become an Organ Donor: YouTube Video Volunteers

Thanks to YouTube for putting on this competition and Jesse McCartney for promoting it (which is how I found out). This is my entry for the Youtube Video Volunteers competition. I had to make a PSA about a non profit organization that I support. I only had a bout a day to do it, but I really wanted to get it done. Thanks to my friends who acted in the first part of the video reading common excuses that people use as to why they are not organ donors. I chose the National Kidney foundation in honor of my mom who passed away in 2005 while waiting for a kidney transplant. I LOVE AND MISS YOU MOMMY!

visit The National Kidney Foundation at www.kidney.org or their Youtube page "KidneyFoundation"

Also visit Donatelife.net


And I in no way want to force my views on anyone or make anyone feel bad about their choice. This is just my opinion. I'm just trying to spread some information. The last thing I want to do is offend anyone.

I signed up to be an Organ Donor when I hit 16 back in a day. I don't see why not ? What ever helps and they only take your organs when they are unable to save your life so if I die young I might as well save some one else.

@killer00100 That's why you donate AFTER you die! Then you don't need your organs. ps. you don't have to be rude!

@scars73 im sorry

[chaelyx]

I can't understand why someone wouldn't be an organ donor. Then again, maybe I'm just biased. Currently trying to be a living organ donor and find someone to share the gift of life with!

@nsyncer1 so sad that people make comments like this. I am waiting for a kidney myself. Thanks for posting this video. I posted to my facebook wall.
