You’ll learn how others had a successful living kidney transplant experience and how you can too. They shared their story and when you spread the word about your situation, Your Donor Will Find YOU.

The most common reason given for not pursuing a living donor is that “I don’t want to ASK someone to donate.” But when you speak to donors and inquire, how did your recipient ask you to donate, they typically respond by saying, “No one asked me to donate, I heard about their situation and I was motivated to help.”

Over 96% of donors donate to someone they know or heard about their recipient’s situation when they or their advocates shared their story. It is essential for you and your advocates to develop and share your story with as many outlets as possible.
