Many people who need transplants of organs or tissues cannot get them because of a shortage of donations. Of the 123,000 Americans currently on the waiting list for a lifesaving organ transplant, more than 100,000 need a kidney. Only 17,000 people receive one each year. Every day 120 people die waiting
for a kidney.
