✨️💐Honoring Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month

This May, the Detroit MOTTEP Foundation proudly recognizes Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, a time to celebrate the rich cultures, histories, and enduring contributions of AAPI communities across our nation and within our local communities.

As we honor AAPI Heritage Month, we also recognize the importance of representation in healthcare, the need for increased awareness around organ and tissue donation, and the power of community voices in saving lives. Together, we can continue to Meet the Moment, building trust, sharing knowledge, and creating pathways to better health outcomes for every community we serve.

We celebrate the legacy, resilience, and impact of Asian American and Pacific Islander communities this month and every day.

🌱 Life Grows. Hope Lives On.

April is National Donate Life Month, a time to honor those who have given the precious gift of life through organ, eye, and tissue donation.
Like a tree planted with purpose, one donor can create a legacy that continues to grow for generations. Their selfless gift connects families, strengthens communities, and brings healing where it is needed most.

At the Detroit MOTTEP Foundation, we believe every life saved represents hope taking root and flourishing. Together, we can nurture a future where more lives are transformed through the power of donation.
