All potential organ donors deserve a section specifically for you. Thank you for considering such a wonderful gift.

Great addition to IHD! I have posted info for donors in the the transplant section, but this is even better!

Great idea.  The girlfriend who is offering to give me a kidney has already been on this site so this is a great place for her to go.

This is a good idea, but I think that adding something like matching donors would add more people who wanted to donate to family
but they didn't match well. Maybe if we write in our HLA, a donor who was tested might get excited if he matched .

There are other boards for matches.  We are mainly a support board for anyone affected by kidney disease. I think there are legal restraints on posting HLA and personal information on this board.

But Sluff said it is a section for organ donors.

I never heard of any legal restraints on posting our personal information, it is done all the time. Many people share their medical problems
including lab report information. I don't think it changes the theme of section he started but could attract more posting to it. Giving hope is supportive.

There is a section for introducing yourself.   ;D

So, as the IHD cheerleader would say...

Introduce yourself!  Introduce yourself!  Right on!  Right on!  Right on!        :thx;
