b'I bet you know someone directly or indirectly who is waiting for a kidney transplant, has received one or died waiting. Organ Donation is personal. I\\u2019ve lost people who were on the waiting list but didn\\u2019t get a match in time. April is National Donate Life Month which helps to encourage Americans to register as organ, eye and tissue donors and to honor those that have saved lives through the gift of donation. We bring you an excerpt of a FB Live panel discussion with:
Howard M. Nathan, President & CEO, Gift of Life Donor Program
Cynthia London, Donor Mom & Gift of Life Donor Program Board Member
Ramona Howard, Multi-Organ Transplant Recipient
Dr. Kimberly A. Forde, MD, PhD, MHS, Associate Professor of Medicine, Lewis Katz School of Medicine and Hepatologist, Temple University Hospital. We hope by the end you\\u2019ll be inspired to sign up as an organ donor. https://www.donors1.org/

First - Pennsylvania has ended the moratorium on utility shutoffs and the pandemic has put a strain on many household\\u2019s finances. There is help. I speak to Funmi Williamson, Senior Vice President at PECO\\u2019s and Chief Customer who shares information on the many programs to provide bill relief. www.peco/billrelief.'
