❌ Myth: If I donate a kidney, I’ll need pain medication for the rest of my life.

🙌 Reality: While it’s normal to need short-term pain relief after surgery, most living kidney donors recover fully and live healthy, active lives without ongoing pain medication.

Most donors return to work, exercise, and their daily routines within weeks without needing ongoing pain medication. Many share that giving the gift of life far outweighs the temporary recovery period.

One is all it takes, and for someone else, that one could be you.

Every day, people are waiting for a kidney transplant. Of the 101,000 Americans currently on the waiting list for a kidney, only 17,000 people receive one each year.

Becoming a living kidney donor means giving more than an organ. It means giving memories, milestones, and moments that might otherwise be missed.
