Kidney Foundation of WNY assistance programs have been a lifeline for many local people dealing with kidney disease, undergoing dialysis or waiting for a transplant.

We’re receiving more requests than ever before for patients who need short-term transportation to fill a gap, nutritional supplements to address deficiencies, and other urgent needs. At the same time, costs are rising.

Consistent access to dialysis is essential, but unexpected challenges leave patients vulnerable. Missing even one dialysis treatment is dangerous.

We’re arranging more rides, but are still receiving new requests from patients, families and social workers. Our "Every Mile Matters" campaign will allow us to provide assistance to the Western New Yorkers who need it most.
