Brooklyn's Gift Reveals Organ Donation Gap | Sydney News
Description
A brave 10-year-old girl, Brooklyn, gave her liver to save another child’s life — a selfless act that left her family heartbroken but hopeful. Yet, while Australians overwhelmingly support organ donation, far too few are actually registered. Just nine kids became donors last year — a heartbreaking number when 136 people are still waiting for a liver transplant and 72 have died in the past five years. After a pandemic spike, donor registrations have plummeted, revealing a critical gap between public goodwill and real action. With diverse communities lagging behind, urgent, targeted outreach is needed to turn support into lifesaving registrations.
