Any double donors out there: liver and kidney?

WOW! Yes, you are way better off without that client, for sure. Are you all aware of the National Living Donor Assistance Center?? All you have to do is apply (pretty simple process) and they will provide up to $6000 for any and all ancillary expenses (accommodations, food, transportation, etc) of the donor. This money is available for up to two years, so it can even be used for follow-up appointments after the surgery. I am so grateful for them, as my out-of-pocket expenses would likely have made it very hard for me to be a living donor, but thanks to the NLDAC, I was able to donate once and am coming up on my second donation!

The NLDAC is a great program! The recipient made too much $ for me to qualify so I was glad that she was able & willing to pay for my travel costs.
I wish there was more info prominently featured for living donors. I was lucky to find this website & had great people at Mayo but I knew none of it before hand. I really had to search for information after my initial evaluation & much of it was just the basics. I think if people knew more about it, more would donate.
