Chicagoland Kidney Disease Dinner?

Hello all! And especially Chicagoland friends! I recently had a transplant about 3 months ago and I am adjusting to my new life and I would love to meet and make friends with more kidney transplant people as well as people that have yet to complete that part of the journey. I know there are local support groups that are out there but I am 22 years old and I want to be in a more relaxed and age-friendly environment. I was thinking about organizing a dinner once a month with everyone who has been affected either currently or in the past; that lives in the Chicagoland area and is between the ages of 20-30 years old. What would people in the area think of doing something like this? We can all connect and share stories, frustrations with doctors, donors, and anything else.

Please comment if you're interested and let me know where you are located so we can decide when and where.

Might be interested in something virtual but in person-NO NEVER! The virus is especially dangerous to transplants. I only way I see my granddaughter is thru a window to the backyard patio. I can't take a chance on anything other than that. Chicago is my hometown and I would welcome meeting other transplants but not until the virus is over.

Not what you're looking for?
