  1. I’ve offered to be tested for a match but because I’m older, I would have to pay for it myself and I’m unemployed due to Covid. That should be changed

  2. How could we contact the family? My daughter was an organ donor recipient, extended her life 5 years against all odds. I would like to give some support to this family.

  3. Religion causes a lot of people to not want to be donors. Religion sets back so many positive scientific and social advancements. Very sad so many adults are wasting their lives holding back the advancement of human kind over a bedtime story.
