All donations to LOPA help with education efforts like The Gifted Life Podcast and contribute to the agency's Core Purpose, Making Life Happen.“No matter what state you're in, what country you’re in, we’re all moving towards the same goal and that’s making life happen, honoring heroes, celebrating lives.”Welcome to another episode of Causecasts and today on the show, welcome not one, but three amazing guests! Joining us today we have the hosts of The Gifted Life Podcast, Lori Steele, Joey Boudreaux, and Sally Gentry. The podcast is produced by the Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency, or LOPA, and is intended to raise awareness and signees for organ donation. The team have already seen the spread and effect of their work and the reward of saving lives is a huge part of it all. We hear from Sally, Lori and Joey about the process of organ donation and the incredible light that can emerge from tragedy when successful transplants occur. Interestingly, the podcasts is aimed at both donors and receivers, and our guests really try to level the show at a wide ranging and reaching audience. They have already seen engagement all across the world and are delighted to be influencing positive change beyond their local community.
