Thinking of becoming a living liver or kidney donor to someone?

In Canada, there are over 4000 men, women & children who are currently waiting for a life-saving organ donation. In the United States of America, that number is over 100,000.

A lot of the conversations around organ donation are for when an individual dies. But as someone with a brother who has been fighting Stage 4 Liver Cirrhosis for over two years, I’ve learned a lot about how someone can be a living organ donor & be able to give the gift of life to someone else, at minimal risk to themselves.

Living liver donors, for example, do not typically experience any serious long-term complications, in part because the liver is unique among the body’s organs in its ability to regenerate. After giving part of one’s liver, it will eventually return to close to its original size. The most rapid regeneration occurs in the first six weeks after surgery—during this time, the liver typically returns to about 80 percent of its original size.

You may know someone right now that you care for a great deal who is requiring of living donor transplant surgery to live. In a matter of weeks, you can save their life. And you don’t have to know someone to be a donor – you can simply sign up to be tested & if you feel compelled to save someone, you’ll be matched with the right individual.

If you’re interested in being a living liver or kidney donor to someone in Canada or the United States of America, but don’t know where to start and need some help, simply message me in the form below. You do not need to share your name - just an email address and the province or state you’re living in, or asking about, and I’ll send you an email with all the information you need to get started, so that you can ask the right people the questions you need answered. You won’t be put on any mailing list and if for some reason, you’re interested in being tested to be a living liver donor to my brother Salim, just email me at rahim@viciousminuteshour.com.
