A
I
am
your
host
David
Britt,
and
today
we
have
a
great
topic.
Now.
We've
heard
those
stories
before
where
someone
is
in
dire
need
of
maybe
a
kidney
transplant
and
they're
looking
for
donors
and
they're
searching
and
time
is
running
out,
and
they
found
that
donor
at
the
last
minute
and
they're
saved.
We
hear
of
those
things
we're
going
to
talk
about
kind
of
the
back
of
that
and
how
that
happens
and
how
you
can
help
a
way
that
you
can
possibly
save
over
70
lives
now,
there's
a
great
organization
in
Columbus.
A
Well,
that
is
a
national
organization,
but
it's
a
chapter
here
that
are
helping
not
just
with
this
with
a
lot
of
great
community
things,
we're
going
to
talk
to
them
and
we're
also
going
to
get
back
to
talking
to
lifelink
of
Georgia.
Now
I
have
with
me
two
awesome
guests:
what
is
Miss
Mary
Thomas
and
you
look
the
links
incorporated
and
one
is
miss
Kendra
right
and
you
with
black
life
League
of
Georgia.
B
C
Yes,
the
Lynx
Incorporated
is
an
organization
was
started
in
1946
by
two
visionary
females.
The
name
was
Margaret
Hawkins
and
Sarah
Scott,
and
they
wanted
to
make
sure
that
they
wanted
to
make
sure
that
women
are
committed
and
they
wanted
to
make
sure
that
they
were
in
enriching
and
sustaining
and
increasing
the
survivability
of
African
Americans.
So
that
was
the
main
purpose
of
the
organization
and
they
had
seven
other.
Ladies
who
came
with
them
with
the
organization,
and
it
has
survived
long.
C
Lynx
I
am
the
chair
of
the
Health
and
Human
Services
facet
and
that's
all
about
health
and
all,
and
we
part
of
the
linkage
to
life.
The
National
Lynx
organization
has
the
signature
program,
which
is
called
the
linkage
to
life,
and
it's
basically
to
address
things
like
registration,
for
a
donation,
for
organs
for
tissue
for
eyes
and
for
bone
marrow.
It
want
to
address
some
of
the
disparities
in
the
black
community
for
donor
registration
and
donor
transplantation,
and
even
in
our
organization,
we
experience
it
with
someone
in
our
organization.
C
C
A
C
Important
because
a
lot
of
times
with
the
black
community
a
lot
of
times,
they're
forgotten,
maybe
like
for
being
on
a
donor
registration
list
and
for
transplantation
a
lot
of
times.
It's
probably
we
want
it
to
be
more
level.
You
know
more
equal,
but
we're
trying
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
the
word
out.
So
everybody
can
understand
about
organ
donation
and
transplantation.
The
black
community
and
now.
A
B
Well,
I'm
just
backing
up
a
little
bit.
Lifelink
of
Georgia
is
an
organ
procurement
organization
or
Opio.
There
are
52
other
LPOs
in
the
country
in
my
Frank
has
30,
so
there's
lifelink
of
Georgia
Florida
in
Puerto
Rico.
So
if
you're
an
organ
donor,
we
are
the
actual
organization
that
comes
in
to
actually
retrieve
those
organs
from
the
donor
and
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
is
involved
and
getting
those
organs
from
the
donor
to
those
recipients.
B
Lots
of
coordination
takes
a
team
effort
to
make
that
happen,
and
so
my
role
as
an
education
specialist
to
educate
the
community
on
the
importance
of
organ
and
tissue
donation,
so
that
could
be
anything
from
going
to
a
healthier
I'm
setting
up
at
a
blood
drive
I'm
going
to
talk
to
you.
The
health
ministry
after
church
we'd
love
to
go
into
high
schools
and
educate
students
on
what
organ
donation
is
so
that
when
they
go
get
their
license,
it's
not
the
first
time
that
they're
seen
what's
organ
donation
and
having
to
check
that
box.
B
A
A
C
B
B
Waiting
outside
yeah,
it's
huge,
so
in
Georgia,
specifically,
there
are
over
5,000
people
waiting
for
life-saving
organs
and
those
there
is
a
disparity
in
African
American
community,
because
we
make
up
over
half
of
the
people
waiting
about
67%
and
the
majority
of
us
are
waiting
for
kidneys
about
97%.
So
the
majority
of
us
that
are
waiting
are
actually
waiting
for
kidneys,
and
you
know
that
is
you
know
often
because
you
know
we
have
diabetes
and
a
lot
of
times.
You
know
it
is
because
you
know
we
don't
always
live.
B
B
B
A
B
Miss
you
know:
there's
a
black
market
people
talk
about
that
and
you
know
I
in
some
of
the
countries
outside
of
the
United
States,
you
know,
I,
don't
say
what
that
looks
like
or
not
the
other.
The
other
thing
you
may
hear
is
that
you
know
if
I,
if
I
made
an
accident
and
I
have
a
little
hard
on
my
license,
that
shows
them
an
organ
donor.
They're,
not
gonna,
save
my
life
and
that's
not
true.
You
know
our
EMS
and
our
medical.
B
You
know
community
is
trained
to
save
lives
and
ethically
they
have
to
save
your
life
they're
not
going
to
getting
to
go
in
your
purse
and
look
for
your
license
and
say
hold
there
in
order.
No,
no
I'm
not
going
to
save
their
life
and
I'm,
trying
to
think
of
other
myths
out
there,
but
those
are
some
of
the
bigger
ones
that
we
hear
about.
You
know
people
are
being
killed
and
their
organs
or
you
know
being
taken.
B
But
if
you
understand
the
process
of
how
and
I
mean
an
organ
can
only
live
outside
of
the
body
for
a
certain
period
of
time.
Their
tests
that
have
to
be
done
on
that
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
that
organ
you're
putting
us
I,
don't
know
the
person
matches
the
blood
type
and
also
it's
a
process
for
that
to
happen.
So
I
personally
wouldn't
want
somebody
else's
organs.
If
I
didn't
exactly.
A
B
You
up
until
it's
your
mom,
your
grandmother
or
whoever.
The
other
thing
we
say
is:
if
you
are
an
organ
donor,
please
tell
your
family
because
a
lot
of
times
people
sign
up,
and
they
say
you
know
my
daughter
was
registered
but
I
didn't
know.
I
don't
want
to
give
her
organs,
but
these
were
her
wishes.
You
know
she
she
said
yes
or
she
saw
this
piece
of
paper,
there's
an
action
you
have
to
take
to
make
that
happen.
B
B
Sure
so,
if
one
person,
if
you
could
give
all
of
your
organs,
you
could
save
up
to
8
lives,
which
is
huge,
and
if
you
give
tissue,
which
a
lot
of
people
don't
know
about
which
are
like
bones,
your
attendants,
ligaments,
you
can
give
your
heart
valves,
you
can
save
up
to.
You,
know
70
people,
so
there
are
a
lot
seen
an
Achilles.
You
know
tendon.
You
know
that
you
know
they
last
so
really
what
this
shelf
life
is
a
really
long
time
a
lot
of
times.
Orthopedic
surgeons
use
them
in
their
surgeries.
They
use.
B
You
know,
bone
shards
and
all
types
of
things
that
we
get.
You
know
from
tissue
donor,
so
the
majority
of
people
can
give
tissue,
whereas
most
people
may
not
be
able
to
give
organs,
because
you
know
your
heart
has
to
still
be
beating
I'm.
In
order
for
that
to
happen,
which
usually
happens
in
a
hospital
setting,
so
that's
usually
only
one
to
two
percent
of
registered
donors.
The
majority
of
us
could
give
something
related
to
tissue,
though,
and.
A
B
Sure
that's
a
great
question
or
comment
to
make
because
a
lot
of
people
don't
understand.
We
take
the
time
to
ask
the
family
those
questions
we
have
family
care.
Coordinators
is
what
we
call
them.
They
work
with
those
families
once
that
decision
has
been
made
or
not.
Rather,
they
work
with
those
families,
I'm
gonna,
pause
and
like
say
this
answer
again,
so
the
family
care
coordinators,
we
work
with
they
work
with
the
families
to
help
educate
them.
B
If
that
person
is
not
a
donor,
if
they
are
an
organ
donor,
they
work
to
help
educate
them
about.
You
know
what
organs
they
can
give,
so
they
will
ask
those
questions
around
well.
When
do
you
want
this
person
to
be
buried
that
may
determine
how
many
organs
they
can
give?
Do
you
want
their
arms
folded?
B
C
A
Certainly
get
scared
about
talking
about.
You
know
what
would
happen
to
their
bodies
as
whether
they're
in
faith
or
not
right,
but
these
are
things
that
are
like
well
like
we
said
before.
You
don't
think
about
it
until
you
need
it
until,
it's
sure
not
even
remember
your
daughter
right,
we
anyone
we're
just
one
medical
emergency
away.
One
car
accident.
A
B
A
B
Lifelink
does
a
celebration
of
life,
they
bring
back
donor
families
and
we
just
had
it
a
couple
of
weeks
ago.
They
do
them
in
Atlanta,
in
Statesboro
and
named
by
all
the
families
back
and
it's
such
a
powerful
celebration
and
just
to
hear
every
family
have
opportunity
to
say
something
about
their
loved
one.
But
to
hear
the
the
stories-
and
you
know
you
know
that
that
it
could
have
been
me
because
they
knew
it
could
have
been
anybody
talking
about
their
loved
one,
and
some
of
them
were
kids.
You
know
20
or
30.
B
You
know
years
old,
young
people
that
have
passed
away,
but
they
chose
to
say
yes
to
organ
donation.
It's
really
and
I'm
impactful.
There
wasn't
I,
don't
think
a
dry.
You
know
in
the
place
because
it
is
while
it
is.
You
know
it's.
It's
like
the
silver
lining
right
in
everything,
that's
happening,
but
it
was
it's
just
it's
just
really
impactful
when
you
hear
those
stories
from
people,
so
you
know
I
always
encourage
people
to
like
go
to
youtube.
A
Now,
if
somebody
is
looking,
maybe
there
may
be
that
whether
they
want
to
donate
or
maybe
they
just
want
to
get
more
information
and
start
learning
about
or
merely
just
want
to
reach
out
to
your
organization,
because
you
know
there's
a
misconception
about
as
far
as
the
harvest
you're
a
nonprofit
organization.
Yes,
how
can
people
look
into
it?
Having
people
sign
up?
How
can
people
make
that
next
step.
B
Sure
so,
if
they're
interesting
registering,
they
can
go
to
donate
life,
Georgio
RG,
they
can
actually
learn
more
about
organ
donation
there
or
they
can
actually
register
to
become
a
donor
if
they're
interested
they
can
also
reach
out
to
me.
I'm
Kendra
write
my
cell
phone
or
my
part.
My
work
phone
brother
is
seven.
Oh

RG
awesome.
B
A
A
B
A
Definitely
go
find
out
if
you're
still
apprehensive
by
all
means
find
out
about
it
for
yourself,
but
know
that
in
the
end
of
your
life,
because
we're
all
are
going
to
come
to
an
end,
but
you're
ending
can
be
someone
else's
beginning
and
someone
else's
continuation
thanks
for
watching.
This
is
Columbus
