Remember: "ESRD is not the end: There are resources to help you adapt to this new way of life"

In addition to being a great platform for sharing information, Facebook is ESRD friendly, by giving users the option to promote Donor Awareness. People can support the ESRD Community by listing their donor status in their profile; raising donor awareness one more way to improve the lives of people living with ESRD.
