Friend,
We knew this would come… A hospital in Austin (go figure…) automatically imposed an unwanted Do-Not-Resuscitate (DNR) Order on a patient just because he has coronavirus.
On Saturday night, *Jenny emailed us for emergency help. The hospital placed a DNR on her husband, a coronavirus patient, without her permission. Immediately, your support enabled our patient advocacy team to help.
Friend, forced DNR orders are ILLEGAL in Texas, but how many patients know their rights and would even think to ask Texas Right to Life for help like Jenny did?
That’s why all Texas patients need YOU during this pandemic. Your support ministers to the most vulnerable.
Will you give a gift today to the Texas Right to Life Family Assistance Fund?

As the infection rate climbs, more hospitals may resort to denial of life-sustaining treatment, legally and illegally.
Thanks to resources your support provided, the hospital revoked the automatic DNR.
But how many more Jennys are out there?
How many more Jennys will need help or don’t even know their legal rights?
We must reach more families during this crisis.
Will you donate today? The life you save could be your own.

Thank you for being a light in the darkness.
Yours for Life,

P.S. Friend, if your loved one becomes sick and you fear he or she may be the victim of a forced DNR, the 10-Day Rule, or a suspicious declaration of brain death, please call us immediately at (713) 782 - 5433.
