My husband, Matt, is donating his kidney on March 28th and we made a website to share our story and also raise awareness of living donation. Please take a moment to visit our site and PLEASE share your stories, advice, or questions on our forum.

We would LOVE it!!!

Thank You,

I just saw his website through the link on FB-awesome idea! I am two weeks post donation and would be more than happy to answer any questions he has. Or you can request a 'donor buddy' through this site. My buddy was helpful pre and post donation. Good luck!

Post by: theburts26 on March 11, 2012, 06:07:28 PM: Thank you for the kind words and support!! We greatly appreciate the thoughts and advice. Matt is considering linking up with a donor buddy; I think it would be wonderful! He speaks of the procedure with tons of optimism and seems free of fear, but I know having someone that has gone through the process would be an invaluable resource for him to have, because I know he is pretty nervous even though he hides it so well. Well wishes to all of you!!!! :)
