S1 E10. “The Big Ask, The Big Give” program from National Kidney Foundation opens the door to living donations.

Every year, April is National Donate Life Month. This is an annual time for increasing awareness of the importance of registering as an organ donor or saving a life by being a living donor. And for kidney transplants, living donation offers the best possible outcomes for recipients. But asking someone to give a kidney can be daunting, and the process can be a challenge. For the next episodes of Kidney Transplant Conversations, we will be hearing from support organizations such as the National Kidney Foundation (NKF), the National Living Donor Assistance Center (NLDAC), and TransplantFirst Academy (TFA) about programs supporting living donation. We’ll also talk with healthcare providers about their professional perspectives, and hear from living donor recipients about their experiences. This week, Jennifer Martin from the National Kidney Foundation tells us all about their program “The Big Ask, The Big Give”, a comprehensive resource which includes webinars and workshops, and makes mentors available by phone. the National Kidney Foundation website link is www.kidney.org/transplantation/livingdonors and you can also call them on 1.855.653.2273. With series producer and host Rolf Taylor.
