It is privilege to welcome you into a unique family. All of us share an extraordinary union -- we have lost a special person who has made the ultimate gift to another in need. Our loved ones have made a gift of life, sight, or health, touching the lives of thousands of transplant recipients.

Rest assured you will never be alone as you travel the journey of grief. The National Donor Family Council wants to reach out to you in any way we can to provide nurture and support. Your needs are exceptional.

Please browse through our Sharing and Support features to connect with other donor families through message boards, writing opportunities, pen pals and more. If you'd like to talk to a donor family volunteer, please contact us at 800.622.9010 or donorfamily@kidney.org.
