Hi there, I'm starting the process of becoming a non direct kidney donor. Just waiting for the call form the Living donor transplant coordinator.

Hi!! I just want to thank you for donating from someone on the transplant waiting list. I've only been on the list for a year and fully expect it to be at least several more years unless generous people like you come forward. Good luck, hope all goes well for you and your recipient. x

What a truly amazing gift you are giving. Thank you for being one of those great people that help people like me get their life back.

It's a very selfless act you are doing, and you won't ever really full understand what you have done. No thanks will ever be enough. The recipient will always be grateful.

Hope all goes well and keep us posted on your journey.

Hi, I did the same thing about three years ago. It is a very rewarding experience, being able to help someone else. I had very little discomfort after the op and recovered quickly after the initial twelve week recuperation. Good luck, I hope it all goes well.

Thankyou for letting me know. Very early stages but hopefully I'm medically fit.
