CrowdSource for Life: Storytellers
Why audition? We know most non-directed donors resist taking credit for their remarkably abundant act of donating a kidney to a stranger. However, we’re creating a storytelling show for non-directed kidney donors because telling non-directed kidney donor stories will inform and help others. We ask non-directed kidney donors to extend their act of selfless giving by sharing their story to inspire others potential donors.
