- Pediatric liver transplants make up 12-15% of all liver transplants in the United States.
- There are over 100,000 people, the size of a small city, on the organ transplant list in the US.
- There were less than 10,000 deceased organ donors last year.
- In the time it takes you to shower today, 1 new name will be added to the transplant waiting list
- From the time you woke up this morning to tomorrow morning, 18 people will die waiting for their transplant.
