Each year the NKF Utah asks local social workers for nominations of deserving dialysis patient families who need help during the holidays.

We love being able to play Santa by bringing some Christmas cheer to those surviving rough times, and kidney health challenges.

Dialysis Dad’s wife decided her husband’s kidney health situation was a deal breaker, and she left him and their 3 children earlier in 2021. Dialysis Dad has taken on the weight of the world with patience and grit while managing to care for his kids; and go to dialysis 5 days a week. He dialyzes in Utah Valley and is currently registered for technical school in the spring to update his career skills in light of his situation.

Dialysis Dad could use help with winter coats and boots for the children, toys or any other gifts for the children.

If you have something to contribute for Christmas to his family he has:

– son, aged 7

– daughters aged 5 and 1
