Letter from desperate Aunt on behalf of her nephew on dialysis.

We receive letters like this every day, and are so grateful to be able to do something to help.  Because of your Kidney Kars donation (using the local Utah/Idaho website www.towKars.org) we have funding available for patients like Victor and his family. Thank you for your Kidney Kar Donation in Utah or Idaho.  The funding that comes from Kidney Kars Donations is put to immediate good use locally and we are very grateful for your support.

Dear National Kidney Foundation of Utah & Idaho,

My nephew is 12 years old and is on kidney dialysis. He lives in  Idaho but Primary Children’s hospital in Salt Lake City, UT is providing care for him. He is being sent home today, so he can start doing home dialysis, but it has been very expensive to drive from Victor to Salt Lake multiple times a week prior to him coming home. Is there any financial assistance program available for my brother, who is a single dad, raising 2 kids on his own, for these type of expenses? Also the medical supplies and other supplies needed for home dialysis treatment over the next 6 months at minimum. I am trying to assist my brother as much as possible with the financial end of things for my nephew’s care including reconciliation of medical bills, reaching out for financial assistance and setting up payment plans with doctor’s and hospitals for care received already. If you could email me with any information that may be helpful I would appreciate it. Thank you for all your assistance.
