The issues surrounding living donation are unique. Donors may have serious questions and fears related to medical, emotional, financial and relationship concerns that can only be addressed by another living donor. We encourage you and your family to explore the resources on this site and connect with families who understand where you have been. Living donor membership in the National Donor Family Council continues to grow as we develop additional programs and resources for donors and families. If you are not yet a member, please sign up so that we can keep you informed about new projects.
Membership is free.
Living donation is a beautiful and selfless gift made from the donor to the recipient with no expectations of material compensation. In the United States, it is illegal to buy or sell human organs. Any comments on the message board, Internet chats, discussion group or tribute pages that could be construed as an offer to buy or sell organs will be removed immediately.
