Transplant candidates are hesitant to discuss their illness and the difficulties associated with dialysis, and are therefore reluctant to pursue live donor kidney transplant (LDKT). The investigators will conduct a prospective 3-arm randomized controlled trial with two novel interventions to increase live donation. Arm 1 includes LDC program and the Facebook app, Arm 2 includes just the Facebook app, and Arm 3 includes standard of care. The investigators primary objective is to demonstrate the the effectiveness of these interventions in increasing live donor transplantation rates for candidates with no prior potential live donor.
