Gifts of life: organ donation and giving blood, sentence 2

There are never enough donors: Ollie hears that people needing a new kidney often wait for years, because the organ must match the sick person's body, a bit like a key that has to fit its lock.

Who acts: enough donors, Ollie, people, organ, key · What happens: be, hear, need, wait, match, have · To what, where: new kidney, body, lock · Speech: someone speaks here
