About the Program

Harvey Mysel The thought of Having Your Donor Find YOU! sounds like an unusual approach to living kidney donation. But this is what actually happens. By spreading the word about your need, Your Donor Finds YOU! This new program helps overcome the primary obstacle of living donation — the thought of having to “ASK” someone to donate. But, most donors say, “No one asked me to donate, I heard about their situation and was motivated to help them.”

Harvey Mysel, a 2-time living kidney transplant recipient and founder of the not-for-profit Living Kidney Donors Network (LKDN), has been helping kidney patients for over a decade by giving workshops at transplant centers and dialysis clinics. This experience has provided him with a unique perspective and a deep understanding of how recipients find donors. Having Your Donor Find YOU! is a comprehensive video series with graphics that educates patients about transplant and gives them the tools to mount a successful living donor campaign.

“Harvey Mysel’s “Having Your Donor Find You” videos are full of solid advice, valuable information, motivation and compassion. Listen and learn!” - Al Roth

"Harvey Mysel’s video series is a must-see for patients. When I started out in my search for a kidney donor, there were no such aids and I think that his advice would have helped me enormously. The series is informative, reassuring, and warm and will almost surely result in more transplants and a better life for any patient who watches." - Sally Satel, 2-time kidney transplant recipient
