Educational Events: The Big Ask, The Big Give
looking for a living donor
connecting you to resources and education
This 4-hour training program is designed to help kidney patients find a living donor. Created for kidney patients on the waitlist, family members, friends, and potential living donors, this workshop provides education about living donation and transplant and teaches 7 Key Strategies for finding a living donor, taught in a highly interactive and engaging format. The goals of this workshop are:
​

-
To educate patients on the waitlist and their support communities about methods to successfully share their stories in order to find a living donor and reduce waiting time
-
