Ynetta Nichols is a Mississippi woman who credits a life-saving decision for her current health and career. She received an organ transplant after someone said “yes” to donation, a choice that changed her life.
The Mississippi Department of Public Safety’s Driver Service Bureau, in partnership with Donate Life Mississippi, aims to encourage others to make the same life-saving decision. Nichols works as a Driver Service Bureau trainer and shares her story to raise awareness about organ donation.
Her story serves as a reminder of the impact one decision can have. The partnership between state agencies and Donate Life Mississippi seeks to promote organ donation and save lives across the state.
