STORY CHECKLIST

 

NOTE: I regret that I am unable to accept additonal donor-search stories at this time. If you have not yet made a page on Facebook for your living-donor search, you can find directions for doing so here. You can also find a great deal of information on how to find a donor in the "For Donor Searchers" section of this site as well as on the LKDS Tools & Tips site. Feel free to keep checking back, as this may be only a temporary situation.                                                                                                                                                                         SK

 

Now, please, please, please use this checklist to be sure you have included all the details needed for your story. This will save both you and me the time and frustration of having to send questions and answers back and forth to each other. Many thanks!
