Examples of Facebook postings

There’s no shortage of Facebook pages that have been developed for someone who needs a kidney transplant.

To find these pages just enter: “needs a kidney transplant” in the Facebook search bar and start going through the search results.

If you don’t have a Facebook account you could get some help on how to set up a Facebook account in the Social Network Resources document that is in Supporting Resources.

If you are developing a new page it’s a good idea to look at what others have done. If you currently have a Facebook page and you are looking for new ideas then search: “needs a kidney transplant” and look at what others are doing. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

You could even Friend others in need and share ideas. It’s a good way to meet others who are having a similar challenge.
