🤝 What a Living Organ Donor Is

You don't have to be dead to donate — the kidneys, livers, and lungs given by the living.

The Power of Living Donation

  • When we think of **organ donation**, we often picture someone who has passed away.
  • However, a **living organ donor** is someone who donates a part of their body while they’re still alive.
  • This can include donating one of your **kidneys**, a portion of your **liver**, or even parts of your **lungs**.
  • Just like giving a friend half of your sandwich, living donors are able to give while still keeping enough for themselves — and their lives go on normally!
