Stacey Holmes
Co-Founder | COO
Stacey Holmes is the co-founder of the Enlisted Kidney Foundation (EKF), a passionate kidney health advocate, proud U.S. Navy veteran, and devoted wife and mom. With over 20 years of experience in government defense, she continues to serve alongside family – Daniel and Jordan – working to uplift the community through advocacy, education, and support.

Jordan Holmes
Board Member
Jordan Holmes is an Enlisted Kidney Foundation board member, marketing expert, and 2025 high school graduate. He has been accepted into his county fire rescue program and will begin EMT school soon — committing to a career built on selfless service.
As the son of a kidney disease warrior and Navy veteran, he has witnessed the realities of chronic illness up close. From attending countless doctor’s appointments to watching his father advocate for better care and navigate complex medical systems, he’s developed a deep understanding of what it means to be a self-advocate. That experience has shaped his perspective and strengthened his commitment to helping others do the same.
He actively supports EKF’s mission, travels with the team to Capitol Hill for national advocacy efforts and serves as a voice for the next generation of kidney warriors. A respected former high school quarterback, Jordan leads with heart—on the field, in the community, and now in the fight to save lives.
