A couple of resources. Any transplant center in the US who is a National Kidney Registry(NKR) donor hospital (Map of National Kidney Registry Member Transplant Centers) may be willing to work you up as a donor. This is typically done at no cost to you (you will want to verify by communicating with the transplant center first).
If you are found to be a suitable donor, they have a protection called Donor Shield (Donor Shield | Protecting & Supporting Living Kidney Donors (donor-shield.org)) which theoretically covers you for complications related to the donation. Complications are rare, but it is still worth having. Again, you will want to confirm with NKR that this applies to a non-US citizen. They also give some financial assistance for lost wages, travel, etc.

Thank you! The States are a little further than I would prefer, but I’ll keep it in mind in case other options fail.
