What We Do
Our primary goal is patient services, specifically helping patients get to and from dialysis, (which is necessary for their survival), providing up to $2,000 per patient dental work needed in order to be placed on the kidney transplant waiting list, and providing FREE nutritional supplements (protein bars, etc.) to patients in area dialysis clinics.
We also work with Tennessee Donor Services / Donate Life Tennessee to promote the donation of all organs for transplantation. Visit the Donate Life Tennessee website to become a registered organ donor.
In-Kind Donations Always Needed:
