There are more than 100 people in Wyoming awaiting a lifesaving or healing transplant. The waitlist doesn’t wait. For some in our region, the wait time can be up to 5 years! In addition, tens of thousands of others suffer from trauma, disease or blindness who would benefit from a tissue transplant. You can help. One registered donor can one day save up to 8 lives through organ donation and heal up to 75 more through tissue donation. Check the box and register to be an organ, eye and tissue donor. Simple for you. Life-changing for our community. When you register at WYDOT Driver Services, a heart will be added to your license or ID to proudly represent the lives your decision can save.

Jason's Story - Jason is a transplant recipient and registered donor
In 2009, Jason’s life took a dramatic turn. A simple cold escalated to pneumonia and, ultimately, congestive heart failure. To survive, he received a heart pump and was placed on the transplant waitlist. After nine long months, Jason got the life-changing call in February 2010. Following surgery, his recovery was swift. Today, Jason leads an active life with his wife, enjoying hiking, camping, and earning his business degree.
How Organ and
Tissue Donation Works
In Wyoming and Colorado, more than 1,300 people are waiting for a life-saving organ transplant. When a registered donor passes away, Donor Alliance walks alongside families to honor their loved one's lifesaving and healing gifts. A nationwide database quickly identifies the best match for an organ transplant recipient. Donor Alliance then helps facilitate the recovery and transportation of the donor’s lifesaving gifts to transplant centers in a safe and timely manner.
Donor Alliance is a nonprofit dedicated to saving and healing lives through organ and tissue donation and transplantation. Donor Alliance also manages the Donate Life Wyoming registry.
