Jessie Eisenburg has a such a kind heart as he has always donated blood but now he is going to donate one of his kidneys to person he doesn’t even know.
An altruistic donation is when a person donates a kidney to a person with advanced kidney disease who they don’t even know. Jessie states, “it’s essentially risk free and so needed’’. Jessie says he got the idea 10 years ago and his friend pointed him to a health center in NYC. He has taken multiple tests and he is scheduled for the surgery in December. His kidney will go into a bank and will be donated when a person becomes a match. He also has put his family on the list, making it accessible for his family if they ever need a kidney donor. There is a donor shortage in the US and 90,000 are on a transplant list waiting for a kidney.
Having a celebrity donate their kidney and choose to make a difference in the world for a random stranger might encourage other people to do it as well.
