April is Donate Life Month
Become a donor. Become a hero.
During Donate Life Month, the Transplant Center at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia celebrates the generosity of people who choose to become organ donors. This year, we're also sharing the stories of children who received a transplant at CHOP. We hope hearing about their amazing journeys — and the bright futures they have after receiving a transplant — will inspire you to become an organ donor, too.
