@mauraacro @lwilkey and @rebekahinvt, what accommodations did your employers make for you? Did you get paid leave? Did you have to use your vacation time? Did they celebrate you in any way for your incredible giving of life?

Hi! I got six weeks' of paid time off, so I did not have to use vacation or sick leave, which was a blessing. But no, they didn't celebrate in any way; I don't have a great relationship with my boss, sadly. <3 :/

I'm self employed & there are no provisions for that so it was unpaid. I had 1 client fire me because they, "don't believe in organ donation" so I was better off without them on my roster!
The recipient paid for my airfare & hotel while I was in MN. They bought groceries for my stay & generously spoiled me. We are still in contact & I've traveled to 2 of her daughter's weddings.
My extended family brought meals over when I got back home & helped with grocery shopping & cleaning.
