 Donating in Oregon is a generous choice, but it can also be expensive when you consider potential lost wages, travel costs and dependent care needs. The National Living Donor Assistance Center, or NALDAC, can help eligible living donors with up to $6,000 of travel expenses, lost wages and dependent care costs. About 70% of households are eligible, but you must apply and be approved before your surgery or earlier if you'd like help with evaluation expenses. To determine eligibility, we consider information about the donor and the recipient, unless the donor does not want to choose who will receive their organ. To get started, ask a transplant professional about applying, or visit livingdonorassistance.org for more information.
