Did you know that you don’t have to be a direct match to become a living donor? You don’t even have to wait until your loved one with kidney disease needs a transplant to protect them in the future. Join NKFW’s Living Donors Together April meeting for a special presentation on how paired exchange, donor chains, and non-directed living organ donation can help help save multiple lives and ensure transplant recipients get the best possible match. Stick around after the presentation for an open forum discussion about living organ donation and connect with others navigating this journey.
