Living Donor Kidneys Provide Better Outcomes
In the United States, more than 90,000 people are currently waiting for a kidney transplant. Tragically, about 12 people die every day waiting for a kidney due to the shortage of available donors. A living kidney donation can help reduce this heartbreaking statistic by offering immediate hope and saving lives.

Kidneys from living donors typically last 15 to 20 years, compared to 10 to 15 years for kidneys from deceased donors. This means living donors can give recipients not just more time but a better quality of life overall. Spread the word or consider registering as a donor. It just takes a moment and can save someone's life

These "kidney chains" are transforming lives and maximizing the power of living donors.
