How can you support those with kidney infections and diseases?
1. Head to the National Kidney Foundation.ORG or of your particular state to learn more about local needs, fundraisers and educational forums that are put on for free to raise awareness.
2. Donate sodium-free spices and flavorings to your local food pantry! Due to dietary restrictions, it is often challenging for those eating for a specific diagnosis (and reliant on a food pantry for supplies) to cook delicious food. An easy and affordable way to help is to head to your local dollar store to purchase flavorings and spices to be donated to a local food pantry. Kidney patients as well as any patient on a strict low-fat, low-sodium, low-sodium etc. diet will appreciate it.
3. Lastly, head to DonateLife.net to learn more about national and state-specific donation needs (not just for kidneys but for all organs). The numbers are staggering - as of February 26, WI alone currently has over 1,800 people awaiting organ donation. You can also learn more about being a living or deceased organ donor and register on their website.
