Hi @uneeq1, welcome to Connect.

I'd like to introduce you to @gregorytremblay who anonymously donated his kidney. You can read a bit more about him here https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/i-am-an-anon-kidney-donor-and-will-offer-advise-to-verify

Have you spoken to the recipient about her choice of hospital or is this an anonymous donation?

It was Anon. Trillium Ontario chose the location.

I spoke to her a bit about the hospital choice last fall when we first talked about me donating. She is someone I know from being neighbors at the RV park we stay at in the summer, so it isn't anonymous. There are 500 people in my area waiting for a kidney and I know in larger metropolitan areas the number is in the thousands. I hope by donating it will show people that they can continue to live a normal life while helping to save someone else's.

Hello Gregory! Kudos to you!
