How I Will Help To Save 100 Children's Lives: By traveling to the 48 contiguous states beginning in May, and traveling over 18,000 miles using a electric vehicle. By holding a minimum of 50 Tv interviews with families whose child needs a kidney transplant.By holding events at each stop, to engage the local community, to share our message with them. By documenting my journey and sharing regular updates on social media, to keep all of our supporters engaged. By presenting actual figures in those interviews, which most adults cannot fathom of how many kids need a kidney today, how many are in kidney failure, and how many we lose each year.. By showing myself, a man at 61 year of age. who carries on a fulfilling life with one kidney- the same life I had while i had 2 kidneys over 10 years ago. By letting adults know that if the have been blessed with good health, that they can share that health and wonderful life with a sick child, and save that child's life. By putting stories like this one of Cooper Pfaff in front of adults-

and Magnolia Maglosky- https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2023/01/21/kidneys-for-kids-hopes-to-find-kidney-donor-for-lynchburg-toddler/ all over America.
By sharing my story of giving life over 10 years ago, and the rewards i receive every day because of it. By letting adults know it is safe to become a living donor hero, and that more than likely you will outlive the average American male or female after becoming a donor.

the well being of children,and are passionate like me about
making a difference.

Kidneys For Kids mission, is to give assistance to families with a child who has kidney disease, or needs a kidney transplant. Kidneys For Kids will reimburse families for costs of their child’s kidney treatment, prescription costs, costs of special foods or therapies, or transplant costs which are not covered by insurance such as lodging, meals or transportation costs. Reimbursement will be limited to amounts of $1000 or less per family per year. There is no income limit to qualify for a micro-grant from Kidneys For Kids. Our grant amounts will increase once $50,000 or more in initial funding is secured, and new grant limits are approved by our board of directors. Kidneys For Kids will also provide financial assistance in the same manner, for adults within the state of Michigan who are battling kidney disease, or going through kidney transplant. Kidneys For Kids also advocates to help find kidney donors for children and adults, with the kind assistance of local and national media
