I've had a healthy respect for kidneys ever since my son was on #dialysis. Even with all the bells & whistles, dialysis can only approximate about 20% of what healthy kidneys do. #livingdonor https://t.co/YOzM6ouFIQ https://t.co/2ZE46WnTHY

[World Kidney Day @worldkidneyday]

#DidYouKnow that your #kidneys are amazing organs! They filter around 140 to 200 liters of blood each day to eliminate toxins and balance fluids and generate 1 to 2 liters of urine every day. #WorldKidneyDay

August was an amazing month for 17 new patients. Many have already received a transplant & are now fundraising to help offset the cost of expensive, Rx drugs they'll need for life. No patient should have to choose between food and housing or Rx drugs.
