Your Support Makes a Life-Changing Difference

Kidney Solutions does not have a large staff or big corporate funding. We rely on the kindness of individual donors who believe in our mission.

When you give, you help patients feel seen, supported, and hopeful.

You help living donors feel guided and encouraged.

All services are provided free of charge.

Every contribution — big or small — helps us reach more people, guide more families, and save more lives.

Who We Are

Kidney Solutions is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) dedicated to supporting kidney patients, living donors, and caregivers through every step of kidney disease and transplantation — all at no cost to our members.

We are a small, volunteer-driven community made up of:

  • Transplant Recipients
  • Caregivers & Family Members
  • Living Donors
  • Patient Advocates

Because many of us have personally lived through kidney disease, we understand the challenges, fears, and decisions patients face. Our mission is simple:

To provide compassionate, one-on-one support, education, and hope to anyone affected by kidney disease.

We believe no one should walk this journey alone.

Why Your Donation Matters

While our services are free to the people we serve, they are not free to provide.

Your donation allows us to continue offering the personal, human-centered support our community depends on.

  • Provide direct one-on-one support to patients and families
  • Create living donor awareness campaigns for patients searching for a donor
  • Run support groups, mentoring programs, and education sessions
  • Cover essential program needs like printing, outreach materials, technology, and communications

Education

Our efforts focus on helping our community better understand the need for living organ donation. Staff and volunteers speak and distribute brochures and materials at community events across the state that educate and inspire conversation and donor registration.

Patient Support

You're not alone! Talk to someone who's been there, who has walked the same path and understands the kidney patient experience. Our goal is to lessen the anxiety and stress that people experience as they try to cope with the transplant process.

Family Support

Kidney disease impacts the entire family, so the opportunity to learn more about the disease and how to help a loved one can be a great comfort. Kidney Solutions also helps connect family and caregivers with others who have learned to cope with the challenges.
