California: Donate Life Paid Leave of Absence
Giving The Gift of Life ( being a Living Organ Donor), should be treated just like giving birth to a baby or adoption "Paid Time Off", (Living Donor Leave).
A person shouldn't have to take Vacation Time, Sick Leave, or Personal Leave of Absence, to Save a Life. HELP me put this In all Benefits Packages. Let Living Organ Donors still receive their pay too.

Why is this important?
I'm Kidney Failure Patient 100% dependent on Dialysis. I'm looking for a Living Donor to Donate a Kidney to me. I haven't found one person willing to be tested. There's not enough awareness about being a Living Organ Donor.
The Donor will need at lease 6 weeks off work after the surgery. In these days most people can't afford to be without pay for 6 weeks. So we have people like myself waiting on a List, or die waiting on a List for our number to come up.
