The organ transplantation could not be thought of without the existence of Donors.
It is supported by the lofty will of the Donor to save other people's lives and the goodwill of the Donor's Family.
The organ transplantation involves the lives of two human beings, the Donors as well as the Recipients, and is the fruits of the humanitarian understanding of life and the highest medical technology.
It goes without saying that the Donor, the Donor's Family, as well as the Recipients have their own life history.
Unfortunately, however, Donors and their families, after becoming the topic of the mass media at the "moment" of organ transplantation, sink into oblivion, and the Donor Family's real journey of grief starts from that point when the society get used to the absence of their beloved one.
We have undertaken to organize the JDFC, to give protection to Donor Families, and apt to be ignored and forgotten by the society, to encourage them in their severe life, sharing with each other pains and grief caused by the loss of their dear family members.
At the same time we would like to promote the spirit of humanitarian reciprocal help and respect for peoples' lives, in the name of the Donor Families, who acted up to the sincere respect for the life of other human being.
