“so what can I do?”
Simply spread the word about living-kidney donation. That way you can support the mission of – and be a part of – The Living DoNATION.
“can I do it?”
Living donors need to be between 18 and 75 years old, be in good health, and go through a complete health exam. But the most important thing is that they have an unselfish desire to help a person in need.
“why aren’t there enough organs available?”
It’s pretty rare for people to be able to donate organs after they die. Only about three in 1,000 people die in a way that allows for organ donation (and only half of those consent to donation).
“what are the benefits to living donation?”
Kidneys from living donors last nearly twice as long! If everyone in need of a kidney transplant had a living donor, there would be no waiting list.
“is it dangerous?”
Living donation is much safer than you think. While recovery times may vary, those who choose to donate usually go home after one or two days. And they can live a full and healthy life.
