According to KidneyTexas Inc. President Nancy Greenbach,
“KidneyTexas Inc., a nonprofit organization, was formed 24 years ago for the purpose of helping save lives of Texans with Kidney disease by raising funds to improve the methods of treatment, the search for a cure and prevention of kidney disease. We fundraise to help support the annual requested needs of the seven Dallas Medical Transplant Facilities. The majority of donated funds go directly to our programs due to our low overhead. Chronic kidney disease affects millions of people in the United Stated and can have serious consequences for their health and quality of life. In Texas alone, there are over 8,000 on the kidney donor wait list vs 2,394 kidney transplants performed in 2022 and over an estimated 50,000 on dialysis.
“Kidney disease can also affect children who may face challenges such as dialysis, transplantation, dietary restrictions and medications. That is why KidneyTexas Inc. is partnering with Children’s Health Hospital in Dallas, one of the top pediatric hospitals in the nation, to host a Kidney Kids Holiday Party. This event will be a celebration of the courage and resilience of the children who are living with kidney disease and their families. KidneyTexas has set a fundraising goal of $3,000 to purchase gifts with a donation deadline of Thursday, December 7.
“We invite you to join us in making this party a memorable and joyful occasion for the Kidney Kids and their loved ones. You can help us by making donations to KidneyTexas Inc. by check and mailing to KidneyTexas Inc., 8215 Westchester Drive, Suite 314B, Dallas 75225, or calling 214.891.0896 for credit card, or online donation at www.kidneytexas.org.
“As the Holiday party approaches, we want to express our gratitude and your generosity by making a child feel joy and special. Wishing you a Happy Holiday Season and New Year!”
