It’s wonderful that you are considering living donation! To start, you’ll need to contact transplant centers (hospitals that perform transplant operations) in your area and ask to speak with a “Kidney Transplant Coordinator,” who will provide you with more information and help you begin the evaluation process to become a donor.

To find a transplant center in the U.S. visit: optn.transplant.hrsa.gov/me....

Select “member” then “Find a member”, under member type select “transplant center” and then select your state.

You can find more detailed information about living donation on our website at: kidney.org/transplantation/....

I am Shanika. This is for my friend who is suffering from a kidney disease. She is Maria who is a mother of two kids and she is 36 years old. She cannot do much hard work but she and her husband doing part time jobs in order to finance their kid’s education and living. Meantime she is doing dialysis four times a week. She is quite uncertain that she will live longer to see her kids grow. I am trying to find her a kidney donor who could help her in her life. She is O+ blood group and I could provide more details if you need. This would be a great help!

Hello Frank, I just wanted to give you my email. gregoneedskidney@gmail.com

My fiancé is a father of 4 who is a wonderful father, best friend, son and still holds a full time job. HE is doing dialysis at home, not to mention still loves inventing, working on cars, motorcycles and doing electrical stuff around the home. He would do anything for those he loves, sacrifice his life. This is why its my turn to do what I can to find a donor. Thank you.

Not what you're looking for?
