Today is Giving Tuesday – the most generous day of the year – and an opportunity to provide education, resources, and hope to families facing kidney disease.

Most people don’t know they have kidney disease until it’s too late. But your gift helps us unravel this silent threat and rewrite the future of kidney health.

And here’s the best part: every dollar you give will be matched, dollar for dollar,up to $40,000. That means your impact will go twice as far—bringing double the progress for kidney patients.

With your generosity, we can push for earlier detection, expand access to lifesaving transplants, and ensure every patient has the care and support they need.

Please, don’t wait. Your Giving Tuesday gift will have the power to change lives: https://bit.ly/3Y1Hfzy (link in our bio!)

A huge thanks to Kidney Care Specialists, LLC for sponsoring our upcoming Drive for Dialysis in Dayton! Here is a quick word from our sponsor:

"At Kidney Care Specialists, we treat all aspects of renal care. This includes both your physical and emotional needs. Our practice is owned by our board-certified physicians, not a large hospital network, so every patient matters and is given an individualized treatment plan. We have been caring for patients throughout Southwest Ohio since 2009 at our two office locations and have grown into the leading nephrology practice in the area. Our team of board certified, diverse, caring, family-oriented physicians have over 50 years of combined experience in the Nephrology field. Our staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. We use certified EHR technology (Epic), offer a patient portal, electronic payments and accept all major insurance plans. We are always accepting new patients!"

This Thursday, November 6th, we will collaborate with Dayton community partners to learn, connect, and build care packages for Dayton dialysis patients. Connect with [email protected] to learn more!
