Donor Families & Recipients

Donor Families and Recipients 

NJ Sharing Network honors all organ and tissue donors and their families for their courageous decision to give the gift of life. 

We are here for donor families

In their time of sorrow, these families gave the gift of life to others in need. While we cannot take away the pain of their loss, we hope to provide services that will promote healing during the difficult journey that lies ahead. 

We offer on-going support, beginning at the hospital and continuing with grief resources, workshops and events to celebrate the lives of our donors. Our Family Services team members have diverse backgrounds and experiences including: chaplaincy, social work, bereavement counseling and grief recovery support. We can provide assistance in finding grief resources within your community, answer questions about donation, provide updates on recipients, assist with donor family/recipient correspondence, and provide information on how to get involved with our organization.

There are many ways to get involved 

You can honor your loved one’s legacy and keep their spirit alive. As a member of our donor family community, you share a valuable perspective that can help others heal and be inspired to register as organ donors.
