I would ask the hospital doing the procedure.

I’ve got an acquaintance I can put you in touch with that has a Donated kidney. He’d be happy to tell you all about it.

my friend had a heck of a time finding a matching donor. He went through an organizaiton that matches people up across the country in a trade sort of. You'll donate for your sister even if it doesn't match. They'll find a donor for your sister and you 'll donate your kidney to someone that you match up with is how it worked for him to the best of my memory. He now has a list of foods he can't eat and is a high risk patient so COVID is a very scary thing for him as is the typical flu. He goes mia during flu season unless ECU has a home football game.
