How it works
Three things that move people curious to considering
Living donors rarely come from a single ask. They come from repeated, low-pressure exposure — your story, an invitation to learn, and a safe space to ask real questions. This is how you build that environment.
01
Tell your story
A personal page — your microsite — becomes the link you share everywhere. Your story in your words.
03
Expand your reach
Every person who hears your story can become someone who shares it. One invite becomes many.
The roadmap
Your first 8 weeks
One action per week. Each step builds on the last — and by week eight, you'll have a network that knows your story and knows how to help.
Week
1
Set up your microsite
Create a simple personal page that tells your story. This becomes the link you share everywhere — the single place people can learn about you and what you need.
Week
2
Make your first invitation
Pick one person and reach out personally. You don't have to ask them to donate — just invite them to learn alongside you. Invite them to A Kidney Convo. Say: "I'm starting the process of looking for a living kidney donor — will you come learn with me?"
Week
3
Share your first social post
Post a health update, a family moment, or something you're grateful for. Keep it real — and end every post with a links to the Kidney Convo and your Microsite so curious people have somehwere to go to learn more.
Week
4
Record a short video
30–60 seconds of you talking — why you're sharing, what you're hoping for — has more impact than a written post. It doesn't need to be perfect. Remember, you're not asking for a kidney, you're simply asking that the people who care about you come learn at A Kidney Convo.
Week
5
Share another post answering a common donation question
Many potential donors have real fears: Will I need that kidney someday? What if a family member needs one? Can I afford to take time off? What they may not know is that programs exist to address every one of these barriers. Use social media to dispel these myths — and invite them to A Kidney Convo to hear directly from real donors who had the same questions.
Week
6
Ask someone to share for you
Invite a family member or friend to post or forward your story to their network. When they share, ask them to include the invitation to the Kidney Convo. Have them invite their network to A Kidney Convo on your behalf — your reach multiplies when others carry the message.
Week
7
Engage a community group
A faith community, a workplace team, a club. One group can expose your story to dozens of people who've never heard it. Ask the group to attend A Kidney Convo together — a shared event creates shared momentum.
Week
8
Share a gratitude post
Over these 8 weeks, people may have engaged with your posts, reached out, attended A Kidney Convo, or shared your story. Take a moment to thank them publicly — and if responses are still slow, your care team is always worth recognizing.
