Title: What are good web sites for potential donors?
Post by: kidney4traci on October 28, 2008, 09:15:44 AM

I can't believe it, but I finally have found a match!!!   :bandance; :bandance; But now she has a lot of questions.  I am sure someone here would have some sites that offer potential donors with good information.  All help appreciated!!

I PM'd you but there's a great site with lots of info: Living Donors Online http://www.livingdonorsonline.org and they have a message forum where you can post comments and questions for other donors.

I know other people have used Transplant Buddies http://www.transplantbuddies.org but I have only visited there a few times.

Thanks again!  I jsut pray she agrees.  She called yesterday when she got the news and we were both shocked.  I have had about 10 people try and no matches thus far, so when she called I was ready for her to say sorry, but... 

Wow!   :cheer:

GREAT NEWS  :flower;

I bet my brother in law would be happy to talk to her too.  He wanted to get involved in some way that would help increase donation, but still has dial-up so he doesn't spend a whole lot of time online.
