Our Vision

Our vision is to create a world where no child has to wait for a life-saving kidney transplant. We aim to increase awareness about living kidney donation, provide comprehensive support to families, and advocate for policies that improve the lives of children with kidney disease

Driving for Life Nationwide Trips

Driving for Life began in 2022 as a visionary initiative to advocate nationally for both children and adults in desperate need of kidney transplants. In 2023, we expanded our reach, traveling over seven thousand miles across the nation, amplifying the voices of children in need of a kidney transplant, and raising awareness about the critical importance of organ donation.In 2024, that increased to 10,000 miles, and in 2025, we will travel 12,000 more miles to 30 more cities. Our goal is to recruit a minimum of 100 adults to donate 100 kidneys to 100 children

Family Assistance Fund Drive

Our Family Assistance Fund provides grants up to $1000 per family for costs not covered by insurance for their child’s treatment or transplant. This vital bridge often provides food and essentials for families during long hospital stays or the ability to travel to life-saving treatments for their child
