Over 10,000 individuals in Texas are currently on the waiting list for organ donations, with wait times potentially reaching five years. Victor Blanco, who spent over two years on dialysis, recently received a kidney transplant. He recalls the moment he learned about his kidney failure and urges others to consider becoming organ donors. In an effort to increase donor registrations, Channel 5 News is collaborating with the Texas Organ Sharing Alliance for a registration event on June 19 at their Weslaco office. People can also register online to become organ donors.
