“The freedom & flexibility I have been afforded by having a transplant, the good things that have come from it, the insights I have gained from it, outweigh the difficulties,” says Ken (@4_kidney). “I am so grateful & thankful for all the extra time I have had.” #LivingItForward

Pleased to be invited to discuss @NLDAC_ASTS and the #financialtoxicity that often accompanies living donation. There are resources. Centers need to know them.

SUPPORT ORGAN DONORS! In January of 2021 I became a living organ donor when I donated my left kidney to my neighbor, Alan. At the time, I was extremely lucky to be fully supported by my insurance and by my friends and family, but not everyone is.

@BAlanBourgeois @TexasGOP Thank you for stepping up to save someone’s life! I’ve recently starting working with @HelpOrganDonors specifically because of stories like yours. Far too many donors need support before and after they donate and the American Living Organ Donor Fund works to do that ever day.

#KidneyWk 2022 in Orlando, FL, is quickly approaching! To demonstrate our unwavering support of the LGBTQ+ communities, ASN is making a $25,000 donation to @onePULSEorg. Join ASN in showing solidarity with those whose freedoms are threatened: https://t.co/JLKgWAmrzA
