Keeping Your Microsite Active Even After You Receive a Transplant

If you’ve received a transplant, you may think it’s time to deactivate your microsite. However, we recommend keeping your microsite live, even after your transplant, for several key reasons:

1. Raising Awareness: Your microsite is a powerful tool to spread awareness about the importance of living kidney donation and encouraging others to consider becoming donors. Every visitor to your microsite is a potential donor who could change someone’s life—just as your donor changed yours.
2. Opportunities for Additional Vouchers: While you may have received a kidney transplant, keeping your microsite active can help you remain eligible for future voucher opportunities through the National Kidney Registry. If your transplant needs change or you require another transplant in the future, having a voucher on hand could significantly reduce your wait time and increase your chances of finding a match.
3. Reaching More Potential Donors: The more people who see your story, the greater the likelihood that someone will feel compelled to donate—not just to you, but to someone else in need. By keeping your microsite active, you expand the reach of your story, connecting with a broader audience and raising awareness about living kidney donation in a way that could help others.
