Did you know there are Living Donor Mentors? They are often recipients, living organ donors and caregivers themselves! The National Kidney Registry and the American Transplant Foundation have programs that connect mentors with current living donors, recipients and caregivers!❤

Living donation is incredible in so many ways. Not many people know about it, and it's the stories of hope and a second chance at life that can really help spread the word. ❤
What is the National Transplant Waiting List? Our CEO, Kelly, has some stats and details that may surprise you!
Monique and Annette participated in a kidney swap over 16 years ago! It is one of the ways you can still donate to a family member, even if you aren't a blood type match.
What's an advantage of living donation? The organs tend to last much longer than deceased-donated ones! Amy Waterman explains more in depth here!
There are many ways you can help support Living Donation and saving lives! If you're not ready to be a donor yourself, you can be a champion for someone in need, share their story, and spread the word about living donation whenever you can! ❤❤❤
Happy 4th of July, and America's 250th! 😃❤️🩶💙
Think living donation is just for family members? Think again! 💡 You can be a "non-directed" or "altruistic" donor, choosing to give the gift of life to someone on the national waiting list without knowing them personally. You can find out more on our website! ❤😀
We had a wonderful time this week at the Health Museum for the Teen Summit Lunch and Learn! You can also spy the Living Bank Kidney Cart rolling around the floor several days a week!
Over 100,000 people are on the waiting list for a life-saving organ transplant and over 90% of those are for a kidney. Living donation is an amazing option that can answer that need! ❤❤
We've added new courses to our On Demand webinar catalog! Check out our website and learn at your own pace! 📚📚📚
It's open mic night, and Kidney Bean wrote a little poem to share. :)
It's pretty rainy here in Houston, today! Stay dry, Beans! ❤❤❤
Living donation is a gift of life and often, love. ❤

We are at @UNOSNews TMF in Atlanta for this year's amazing conference! Come stop by our booth if you are attending!
What is life like after transplant? Here are the testimonies of a few heroes we know! #donatelife
What's a hero? Is it someone who saves lives in a dramatic rescue? Is it someone who selflessly gives to help another in need? So many of them walk among us as living donors, silently making a profound impact on the lives of others. Let's celebrate them every day!
❤ Change and hope grow in the efforts we make everyday to support the causes close to our hearts. More than 100K people are waiting for a life-saving transplant, and a huge part of those can be helped through living donation. Help us spread the word during Donate Life Month!
April is National Donate Life Month! It is dedicated to raising awareness about organ, eye, and tissue donation, encouraging registration, and honoring donors who save lives. ❤
