    My husband is waiting to hear whether his SECOND LIVE DONOR is eligible. The first was not eligible to donate. We know both of the perspective donors. Donor #2 needed one more test. That was July 7. We still have not heard from the hospital. Isn't time of the essence? My husband's NKR Donor Search Expert Coach disappeared. I had to have Office Depot print up more "business" cards as we have already gone through over 500. We've been on TV, radio, in the newspaper, all over social media looking for live donors. Supposedly we have/had 7 people register but I don't know if that includes the first two. My husband's microsite, which is a great idea, has had thousands of hits. So, there seems to be a disconnect somewhere.

    She needed to add that there are two other factors that go with donating a kidney. One is that you forever go to the top of the list if you ever need a kidney because you have donated one. You also get five vouchers to give to friends or family, which puts them to the top of the list if they ever need a kidney. Those two considerations are important to know about, one of the main incentives for donating.

Is that possible. I read the rich are higher up on the list and i would prefer that if i donate it goes to someone not wealthy.
