Kathi Anderson donated a kidney for Christopher Turnis, but not to him. The National Kidney Registry allows people to donate a kidney that isn’t a match to help a loved one, friend or stranger receive another kidney that is a match.

Kara Allen has a motto she tries to live by daily: âI want to leave the world, empty with everything Iâve been able to give.â
For Alejandro Alex Alvarado of Highland, Allen did just that â giving him more than he could ever imagine: a kidney.
Although many organ donations take place after a tragedy occurs, Allen had the opportunity to be a living donor, continuing her quest to make a difference in the world while providing Alvarado with the opportunity to regain his health.
