Reply to comment by ialsoagree in Dad donates kidney to stranger after daughter's transplant by Roshanrapha

I actually did get called once but there was another match and they ended up using them instead. So even if you get called it's not a guarantee you'll be asked to give, and for most people it's a one day ordeal, which they cover you are not responsible for the medical bells. Well worth it, and completely free to sign up!

My understanding is that if you get called, you'll go for additional testing and most people won't match or won't be the best match after additional testing.

I think less than 1 in 100 are asked to donate. But you never know if it'll be you!
