This amazing gift saved my life and has allowed me to live a normal active life.

Hello, my name is Demi and I am 7 years old. When I was only 10 months old, I got a nasty virus, and it attacked my liver and sent it into acute failure.

Before my family knew it, I was on the highest priority list to receive a new liver. Apparently without one, sadly, I would not be here today to tell my story.

I was so blessed to receive a new liver after 5 days. This amazing gift saved my life and has allowed me to live a normal active life with my twin sister Lilli and big sister Hannah.

Thank God for organ donation.

We want all Australians to talk about organ and tissue donation. If you want to be a donor, make sure you tell your family and friends.

Registering is easy and only takes one minute. All you need is your phone, Medicare card and one minute to register.

It doesn’t matter how old you are, your medical history, your lifestyle, what country you’re from or how healthy you are — you can still register as an organ and tissue donor.

The Organ and Tissue Authority acknowledges the traditional owners of country throughout Australia, and their continuing connection to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to them and their cultures, and to elders both past and present.
