NKDO is the premier living kidney donor advocacy organization in the country.As a Living Kidney Donor Mentor, I speak to potential kidney donors and guide them throughout the process for donation, but never dispense medical advice. I can only speak of experiences I had or of those I've heard from other living donors, always referring back to medical professionals for specific answers as it relates to their question.We work with NKR (National Kidney Registry) and Transplant Centers (Hospitals) to streamline the process for kidney donation.About half of the potential donors I work with have someone specific they know who is currently in need of a kidney and the others do not have a specific recipient in mind. They are all HEROES, and I'm proud to speak to each and every one!
