I used to have a donor card always in my purse but I noticed recently it had disappeared.
When I went out, I tried to find a replacement in five chemists (including two branches of Boots) and eventually a doctor's surgery, where the assistant had to hunt for a while before she found a donor card leaflet with card inside.
Many people probably would carry one were these cards readily available.
Once upon a time, they used to be in libraries and chemist's as well as at the doctor's. Where are they now? Have they not been replenished?
Without a donor, my husband would not be with me now and I am forever grateful to that poor person who gave him life.
Can we please have donor cards everywhere in public places? Who knows, maybe one day it will be you who may have need of a donor.
