The Only "Workbook-Driven" Seminar for Waitlisted Patients
This program will help waitlisted patients craft and share their story with confidence and ease. They’ll discover how to choose the right words, know how much to share—and the best time and place to share it. The over 50 pages of powerful content and “fill-in-the-blank” Mad Lib style exercises give attendees an interactive experience with the instructor in “real time” — as they apply practical communication strategies to reach and inspire interested donors to take action.
Stop Idling in Neutral.
Discover Your Shortcut To Transplant.
Waitlisted patients are encouraged to find a living kidney donor—yet even when they find the courage to “give it a go,” they're often not sure where to begin or what to say. That’s why we created The Donor Seeker® Story Planner and Search Guide for Finding Living Kidney Donors to empower their journey.
This revolutionary workbook gives waitlisted patients (and their loved ones) an interactive edge to learn, create, and practice their story—using the right words and connection strategies—to reach interested donors.

TESTIMONIALS
Banner–University Medical Center, Transplant Institute
“Risa Simon brought energy, insight, and inspiration to all the participants at Banner–University Medical Center Transplant Institute, where she delivered a transformative presentation for all attendees impacted by kidney disease looking for guidance regarding how to find a living donor. Her heartfelt message and expert guidance empowered attendees to find their voice, craft their stories, and take proactive steps toward attracting potential living donors.
Risa’s presentation was interactive, uplifting, and filled with practical, high-impact content that truly resonated. Her Donor Seeker Story Planner and Search Guide workbooks brought the session to life, giving participants hands-on opportunities to reflect, engage, and apply what they were learning in real time.
The feedback was outstanding—patients described the experience as motivating, empowering, and filled with renewed hope. Risa’s authenticity, compassion, and ability to connect left a lasting impression on everyone in the room. I wholeheartedly recommend her program to any transplant center seeking to both educate and deeply inspire their patient community.”
