First time meeting the donor who saved her life 

It's very big thing to listen any parents

Yes my heart is full of joy watching this . ❤

As someone from Maine also, good on your daughter! What an awesome person

Even if you never get a match you can feel eternal pride for donating. No one donates for the reward.

I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your story. I truly believe that your mother is watching over you and your family always 💕

oh gosh I thought the SAME thing.

No that does not mean that you are related

It does not mean that they are related at all. To be an organ or donor match, it is essentially all just luck. There are a list of donors available and based on blood type, crossmatch and HLA testing, they will know how likely it will be for the donation to be successful. That’s why it is so important for more people to register for donation. The more people there are on the list, the more likely it is that someone will happen to find their match for donation. It was pure luck that he happened to be registered as a donor and that they were a match. There is no genetic link between them at all. However, family members are usually the first to be tested as they are more likely to be a match compared to a stranger.

I might be wrong but in NC there is a place on your driver licence they mark of you are a donor so I would say the age limit is your death.

I have bone marrow biopsies (I would think harvesting marrow would feel similar)for diagnosis and monitoring of my CML leukemia. It is not that bad if you can donate to save a life!❤

In Germany between 18 and 55 years...

@@grafzahl4698 Thank you !!

For a live donation, the age differs depending on what country you are from. The age limit is usually somewhere around 18-50. For donation after death, there is no age limit. The organ donation team assesses the condition of the potential donors organs. If they are fit for donation, they go from there to find a match.
