Share Your Number

What’s My Number?

It’s the number of days you’ve been able to spend with the people you love. Whether you’re the child or parent of a transplant recipient or have received a transplant yourself, we’re asking you to share your number with us for special video projects.

• To begin, calculate the number of days since you or someone you love received a transplant. That’s your number. Because we’re hoping to share these videos on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day please count how many of those you’ve had with your loved ones too.

• Next, follow the instructions below for how to take a selfie video and watch the short instructional video attached to this email for more specific instructions.

• Then, film yourself sharing your number. Here are some examples of the short but sweet messages we’d like you to share:

“My name is _____, and I’ve had ____ more days with my Mom because of her transplant.”
“My name is _____, and I’ve been able to spend __ more Mother’s Days with my Mom because of her transplant.”

OR

“My name is _____, and I’ve had ___ more days with my children and grandchildren because of the selfless gift of my donor.”
“My name is _____, and I’ve had ___ more Father’s Days to spend with the people I love because of my transplant.”

• Finally, send your video to bwilkinson@life-source.org by May 1st. We can’t promise every submission will be used in the final videos, but we’ll do our best.
