Oh, she's been on the headlines lately. Have you been reading?
Tee Hui Yi after her heart transplant.
She's just 14 and seriously, could have just been all over for her. But such blessing to have her 2nd heart transplant within a week! I think this organ donation program is such a cool and good thing. Also, says here in the paper that Christianity, and some other religions, regards organ donation as an ultimate act of charity and benevolence. I believe its by the grace of God that she lives but the point here is, why must it always have to start with an incident and along with a media frenzy to get people doing stuff that should be acted long before? Look at Nurin's case. Then only parents start taking precaution of their kids. You see, this kinda pattern always comes around; things happens, gets into headlines, people get emo, start saying what stuff should had been done, stuff done out of hype, goes on for awhile, and then after 2 months... it dies down.
So MANY people die on waiting list waiting for organs, young or old, boy or girl, and yet... so many organs goes down the grave everyday. We dont need kidneys when we die cause we can't pee when we're dead. But someone who' is fighting to live really needs it. Problem is....we need to see it in terms of our circle of people we know. It could happen to anyone. As for Hui Yi's... she's really blessed. 14 is too young to die. Who we know is 14 yrs old? It could happen to us, your brother, sister gf/bf, children, parents.... Imagine, the desperation for a donor, but also knowing that all chances are going to the grave just because a pledge wasnt made.

I've pledged for organ donation. You dont need it when you die. Give others a life when yours is over. You can do it too!
Yes, I too jumped into the band wagon. But its for a good one, and hopefully this wont be a hype, but a calling to show love beyond the grave.
AhBen's heart. ^_^
