Organ Donation
Sep. 05, 2024
Join the Movement of Saving LivesWe all have a role in ending the wait list. Nearly 9,000 New Yorkers statewide — 131 of whom are children under the age of 18 — are waiting for a lifesaving transplant, according to United Network for Organ Sharing. Nationwide, the number is approximately 100,000 - enough to fill two Yankee stadiums. But the myths of organ donation are starting to fade away and New Yorkers are saving more lives than ever. Last year, more than 1,000 organs were transplanted thanks to the selfless acts of organ donors in the greater New York area — a record — but the urgency remains, and the work is far from done. Together, as a community, New York has the power to end the wait list. Honoring, Changing and Saving LivesLiveOnNY is a nonprofit organization committed to helping New York live on through organ and tissue donation and to caring for the families touched by donation. We serve as the federally designated organ procurement organization (OPO) for the greater New York City area. Every day, we work to further our mission by:
Helping New Yorkers Live OnWe are a team of over 300 – clinicians, educators, social workers and more – united around the life-changing power of organ and tissue donation. LiveOn℠ works tirelessly day and night, on education, engagement and advocacy, and the logistical planning and management 365 days a year, to help save the lives of those in need of a transplant. We also provide support and comfort to donors and their loved ones throughout the donation process, and for years after. Contact LiveOn℠ for any of your needs including logistics and management of any of your donation needs by phone: 646-291-4444 or email: communication@liveonny.org. |

Battle of Minisink Monument Restoration Project
Nov. 21, 2024
Valerie has been a resident in the Town of Goshen for 38 years. Her and her husband Jeff raised their two children here in Goshen.
Her career spanned close to 40 years in roles that included business owner, business manager, controller and project manager. A silver lining of Covid was her decision to retire early. Unfortunately much of her career was spent commuting which didn't leave time for community involvement.
Retirement has now given her the gift of time to become involved. She joined the Minisink Chapter of the Daughters of American Revolution (DAR) in 2022 after discovering that her 5th Great-Grandfather served in the Bergen County Militia during the American Revolution. She is currently leading the Battle of Minisink Monument restoration project on behalf of the Minisink DAR Chapter.

Sean's Dream
Jan. 16, 2025
I currently live in NY with my husband and 4 children. I have had a few career paths in my lifetime but none as fulfilling as being able to stay home and raise my children. I hold a degree In Health Information Management, have extensive experience in administrative work, event planning, networking, and working hands on with the community. At a young age my mother taught us to participate in community service and through that experience I learned the ripple effect that it can cause for yourself and others in the community. I am also a proud board member and volunteer for NAMI Orange County NY.
My brother Sean passed away in 2020 but I believe that when someone passes away, we should not ask “How did they die?” as much as we ask, “How did they live?” Sean lived life on life’s terms every day. He spent his days reaching for success and overcoming his struggles with the resources that he had in front of him. I started this organization to turn my grief and pain into something that will reflect his goals and leave him a beautiful legacy associated with is name.
He struggled with the trauma from Childhood Sexual Assault leading to a life of mental health illness and PTSD. He struggled with substance abuse as his symptoms to those wounds. Mental Health and addiction became our family’s disease. There are 1 in 5 people who suffer from the same mental health illnesses as Sean did every day. I promise that SeansDream will help to raise funds for medical care and resources for recovery, we will hold fundraising events to end the stigma around mental health illness and show others that through connection and support you can recover and live a happy healthy life. “We all have the same destination of success with different beautiful paths to get there” |
