Studies show that 26 percent of Black patients waiting for an organ receive one and the number is nearly double for white patients.

  1. People of the same race are more likely to be a match. Donors in 2021, 7660 whites, 1748 blacks, 1690 Hispanics, 291 Asian, 78 Indian, 71 multiracial. Do you think that might have a little to do with it? There's many factors to consider before a patient is put on the list. My 40 year old white friend who's never smoked, drank, or took illegal drugs & other than her kidneys, is in good health, was denied. Race is not one of those factors.

  2. Does anyone know how I can get in touch with Dawn Bowen? Would like to try to help her find a kidney donor. (I can't donate a kidney to her – I had already donated a kidney.)

  4. The CCP is not the same as China, and China has indeed been controlled by the CCP for more than 70 years. The people cannot resist. Just like Hong Kong, elections are also set by the CCP. The United States and the Western world still don’t know that what is going to be overthrown is that the CCP regime is not China. Overthrowing this anti-human party is to help the Chinese people. The Chinese people have been brainwashed by the CCP and taken hostages by the CCP. Dare to be angry but dare not speak. Most Chinese people who can go abroad are the children or relatives of high-ranking communist officials. Chinese who are anti-communist abroad are Chinese who have actually fled, and those who have been supporting the Chinese government abroad are Communists.

  5. Barriers MUST be removed! Thank you for bringing awareness. I hope more is done to bring that “oasis of care” the doctor speaks about so that something as vital to life as access to healthcare, disease prevention, organ transplants, etc. becomes more equitable.

  6. Some people don't put organ donor on their license including me in fear of being targeted. But I'm sure that if I pass away I would definitely donate my organ. It has to be another way like a website of people who needs an ororgan. Post the organ and blood type. if someones love one pass away they could reach out to them privately and say hey. My family member passed away and I think he or she might be a good fit
