The Big Ask, The Big Give: Finding a Living Donor | National Kidney Foundation of Michigan

The kidney transplant waiting list is getting longer and people are waiting for a chance at a better life. In response, the National Kidney Foundation has developed “THE BIG ASK: THE BIG GIVE.” This initiative features free, interactive workshops that educate and raise awareness about kidney donation and transplantation for those seeking a kidney transplant.

This workshop provides education on living donor transplants, dispels myths, teaches participants how to tell their personal story, and the importance of engaging one’s social network in the search for a living kidney donor. It features a panel of renal professionals, living donor recipients, and living donors.
