Hello!

My name is Brooklynn Wynveen, and I am writing to invite you to participate in a research project that I am currently working on, through Sam Houston State University, in Huntsville, TX. This research is designed to improve collective understanding of the experiences of living kidney donors, in order to raise awareness among potential living donors. My hope is to conduct in-depth interviews with living donors of various backgrounds. I hope that you will consider participating in this effort. Below, please find links to the official information letter detailing the research and the interview guide that I will be using. Of course, if you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thanks so much for your consideration, and I look forward to the possibility of working with you!

It sounds like this is for those who have already donated.  I have been accepted (nondirected/altruistic) and am waiting for logistics to be finalized (paired exchange/chain).  Let me know if soon to be donors fall under the guidelines of your research.

I donated a month ago- I'll do this later for sure. :)
