Kidney Donors
I would love to hear from U.S. kidney donors about how much it cost them to donate?
I mean -- how much in incidental costs -- I know medical costs are covered. But what about lost wages, unpaid leave, babysitting, travel costs, etc. Did anyone in your family have to take time off to help you while you were recovering from your donation?

Sigrid is the author of the book The Kidney Sellers. (16 minutes)
