The need is great. More than 85,000 individuals nationwide are waiting for organs. In Hawaii, approximately 375 seriously-ill people of all ethnic groups are waiting for a heart, liver, kidney, or pancreas transplant. Hundreds of others need cornea or bone transplants so they can live healthier lives. Sadly, there are not enough donations to meet the need. Nationwide, approximately 17 people die every day and approximately 12 people die each year in Hawaii while waiting for a donated organ.
