It’s estimated that just 10 percent of the global need for organ donation is being met. In Japan, where only 300 out of 14,000 people on a waiting list will receive a transplant, things look even more dismal than they do in most developed countries. Japanese children waiting for a donation face their own list of challenges to overcome.
In an effort to spark conversation around this important topic, the company Second Life Toys is inviting kids to send them their beaten-up stuffed animals. Toys in need of fixing are matched with a donor, and the donated toy’s part is then transplanted to the recipient, making them look even better than they did before.
