How Your Gift Makes a Difference

• Patient support: You help cover gas, lodging, and rides so patients can actually get to transplant evaluations and dialysis—not miss them because of money or miles.

• Resource navigation: You connect kidney warriors, especially Veterans, to top transplant centers, financial aid, and support programs that can mean the difference between waiting and getting a second chance.

• Advocacy in action: You put EKF at the table on Capitol Hill, pushing for kidney care reform and toxic‑exposure laws that protect Veterans and families.

• Community impact: You keep spaces like our Coffee & Conversations going, where patients and caregivers find connection, practical answers, and real hope.

• 1‑on‑1 mentoring: You fund free, one‑hour mentoring sessions that give patients personalized guidance, a roadmap through the maze, and someone who’s walked the path before.

• Education & awareness: You power speaking events and outreach with groups like DAV, so Veterans and kidney patients learn their risks, their rights, and their options—in time to act.
