RUSTON, La. (KTVE/KARD) — April is Donate Life Month, and officials of the Northern Louisiana Medical Center held a flag-raising and butterfly release event on Wednesday, April 12, 2023, in commemoration of organ donors. NBC 10 spoke with a mother whose daughter received a life-saving organ transplant and she mentioned how “Donate Life” helped her family.
To know that there was a chance for her just brought life to me again. I just can’t explain the feeling of there is actually an option to help my child and many other kids, adults, or whoever it may be.

According to officials, the butterfly release that took place at the event represented the metamorphosis of tragedy to new life through organ donation.
