Becoming a donor
Donation is 100% Free
No matter where you are located in the USA or abroad, all costs related to testing are 100% covered by the Tedoff Family's insurance. No potential donor (nor a donor who is ultimately identified to move forward with the procedure) will incur any costs directly or indirectly related to the procedure (medical services, food, lodging, travel, lost wages etc.)
Determining Initial Eligibility
Fortunately, Ira’s blood and tissue types are compatible with all blood and tissue types. If you are in good health, most likely you are eligible to undergo initial testing to see if you are a match. We respectfully ask that individuals interested in kidney donation contact RENEWAL to begin the process.
RENEWAL is a philanthropic organization that is a comprehensive resource for kidney donors and recipients that is assisting Ira in his search for a donor.

Free Confidential Testing
Interested donors can choose to explore donation and be tested for eligibility and compatibility without the recipient or his family's knowledge. An interested donor can decide to withdraw from the testing procedure at any time. Click here for an outline of all testing steps.
Medical testing must be conducted to determine donor eligibility with regards to a number of factors. Interested parties will first have a brief phone consultation with the Donor Coordinator and then be sent additional information about next steps accordingly. The Donor Coordinator can also assist in the arrangement of testing at a facility outside of Atlanta, if an interested individual is from out of state or located outside of the United States. All costs related to donor testing are covered by the recipient's health insurance. Similarly, should a donor be found, all costs related to the procedure and post-operative care (including reimbursement of lost wages) will be covered by the recipient.
The recipient and his family will only learn of a potential donor’s decision to donate, once the donor has given official permission to make said information available.
