@mauraacro I am so grateful to you for having shared your donor experience on Connect.
Remember when you first came to the community hoping to find a written account of someone's donor experience play-by-play. Back then there wasn't one, so you jumped right in and said, "I'll fix that and journal my experience for others." So incredible. And now you see how it is helping @ek101085 and countless others. You help answer those questions that people can't find in brochures or even the staff. It's the knowledge that only the people who have been there have.
EK - as you prepare to be a donor, I invite you to add your version of the journey to Mauro's. By collecting experiences, future donors will know better what to expect. Please add your journey here:
