Help Pass the End Kidney Deaths Act!
90,000 Americans are waiting for a kidney on the transplant waitlist.
Those on the waitlist are not dying from kidney disease itself but from the extended, often fatal wait time.
Only half of them will be saved by a kidney transplant unless we pass the End Kidney Deaths Act.
Will we witness another 100,000 Americans die while waiting on the the waitlist (as they did from 2010-2021), or will we pass the End Kidney Deaths Act so up to 100,000 Americans will instead survive & thrive with a new kidney?
The End Kidney Deaths Act will save up to $37 billion in taxes in the next decade.

Encourage organ donation through tax credits
The End Kidney Deaths Act is a ten year pilot program to provide to living kidney donors who give kidneys to strangers on the kidney waitlist, a refundable tax credit of $10,000 per year for five years ($50,000 total). Click here to read the legislative text.
Kidney donation is safe. Kidney donation is emotionally rewarding.
95% of those who become living donors state that they would donate again if they could.
