: A newly passed bill could give New Yorkers another way to sign up as organ donors and help grow the state registry. The Doorways to Donation Act passed in the state Senate and Assembly last week, which would allow New Yorkers to register as organ donors when filing their taxes.

Erica was involved in a severe car crash that damaged her right leg, and following the accident, she endured several difficult surgeries. Erica then noticed discomfort in her left leg, and it was discovered that two of her ligaments were damaged. With the help of donor tissue, she was able to have the damage repaired. After surgery, she took time to acknowledge the opportunity she had gained because of another person’s selfless gift. She wanted her donor family to know that their loved one had positively impacted her life in a very significant way. “I do my best to spread the word. I want everyone to know how many people are touched by donation and how many can benefit from it. Because of tissue donation, my quality of life is better than it ever was before.” After a lengthy recovery period, Erika can walk around her city and hike with her wife and dogs. 💙💚 Thank you to MTF Biologics for this story!
