​New Organ Packing Technology will Maximize Opportunities for Lifesaving Gift

In a race against time, the ability to transport organs efficiently and safely is crucial for ensuring transplant recipients receive the lifesaving gift they need. In 2024, LifeShare and MaxQ partnered in a groundbreaking effort to revolutionize the standard for organ packaging. Now, on March 15, LifeShare will officially launch the LifeSafe Shipper, a cutting-edge packaging solution to reshape the future of organ transportation across the country.

Currently, many vital organs are transported throughout the state in Styrofoam insulated corrugated container, placing limits on the time and distance an organ can travel. Together with local partner MaxQ, a national leader in blood packaging and shipping, LifeShare Innovations is set to introduce a next-generation shipping system that will optimize preservation, tracking and delivery.

“With the LifeSafe Shipper, we will create more opportunities to save the lives of those most in need of an organ transplant,” said Saravan Kumar, CEO at MaxQ Research LLC. “We’re proud to be a part of the team releasing this new technology.” READ FULL STORY

Nineteen-Year-Old Donor Hero Saves Lives Through the Gift of Organ and Tissue Donation

​Jazmyne Montoya was an independent, kind, and courageous nineteen-year-old. Her family, from Yukon, Oklahoma, say she had launched a career as a nail artist and had a growing clientele, and she was joyful and optimistic about her future.
 
When Jazmyne passed away from health complications in April, her parents honored her wish to be an organ, eye and tissue donor – a decision she compassionately made when receiving her driver’s license at sixteen. 
 
“We have so many amazing memories of Jazmyne,” her mother, Rosa, said. “When I was five months pregnant and had my first ultrasound picture, you could see she was smiling. When I see more recent pictures, she has that same smile.”
 
Jazmyne’s loved ones are proud of the impact she made in her nineteen years. She was often found at the park with her sister and friends and loved to visit the lake. She adored her puppy, Bruno. Jazmyne was creative, playing the flute and expressing herself through makeup. She was the person who always showed up for her friends, making time so everyone felt special and supported. Her father said she gave the best hugs, her kindness always shining through. READ FULL STORY
