What often compels someone to become a living organ donor is to serve others who are in need.
This mission to serve drew Alisha Beesinger, of Lakebay, Wash., to become an altruistic donor for a unique reason: to honor loved ones who served in the United States Armed Forces.
Alisha, an office manager at her church, had never considered living organ donation until she stumbled across a Facebook post in 2023 about a veteran and mother of five in need of a kidney.
