Educational Events: The Big Ask, The Big Give
looking for a living donor
connecting you to resources and education
In collaboration with the University of Chicago, the National Kidney Foundation of Illinois will present the first of its The Big Ask, The Big Give seminars in 2019. This 4-hour training program is designed to help kidney patients find a living donor. Created for kidney patients on the waitlist, family members, friends, and potential living donors, this workshop provides education about living donation and transplant and teaches 7 Key Strategies for finding a living donor, taught in a highly interactive and engaging format. The goals of this workshop are:
ā
-
To educate patients on the waitlist, family members, friends and potential donors about the benefits of living organ donation
-
To educate patients on the waitlist and their support communities about methods to successfully share their stories in order to find a living donor and reduce waiting time
-
To educate potential living donors about the process of donation and ways to offer an organ to a waitlist candidate
