About MatchingDonors.com

Location:

766 TURNPIKE ST, CANTON, MA 02021, US

Mission Statement

Every day in the United States 19 people die waiting 7-15 years on the government's invitee only national organ transplant waiting list for a deceased organ transplant that will most likely never come; while an additional 253 people die every day needing an organ transplant that were not allowed on the government’s list because they were too poor, too old or too sick to be considered a "Good Candidate for a Transplant". A new patient’s name is added to this national organ transplant waiting list every 13 minutes. The team at MatchingDonors.com has been working hard for the past nine years to make sure that doesn’t happen anymore.

Description

MatchingDonors.com has become the most successful nonprofit award winning organization in the world that is improving those odds by finding living altruistic organ donors for patients needing organ transplants. Many patients find their living altruistic donor organ and get their lifesaving organ transplant within 6 months of joining MatchingDonors.com. MatchingDonors.com is NOT an invitee only list; everyone needing an organ transplant is allowed on our list regardless if they are poor, old or sick. As long as a patient is registered at a transplant hospital, in the United States, willing to perform the transplant operation everyone is considered a "Good Candidate for a Transplant with MatchingDonors.com"
