Description
Kidney transplants between recipients and living donors have thankfully become more commonplace, thanks in part to the miraculous paired donation chain events, altruistic donors, social media and growing awareness among the public about our great need for kidneys. Gift sets are a wonderful way to show appreciation for our donors and honor their sacrifice while also acting as conversation pieces to bring about donation awareness for the Gift of Life.
In late 2016, there were 121,678 people waiting for lifesaving organ transplants in the US, 100,791 were waiting for kidneys. The latest statistics from 2014, show there were 17,107 kidney transplant surgeries in the US. 11,570 came from deceased donors and 5537 from living donors.
There are several ideas for gift sets on this page, but feel free to create your own. Since introducing the “Butterfly” sets of 2 pendants in 2016, they have flown out from my studio across the globe. I hope that all the pieces on this website will be meaningful gifts of gratitude and hope.
