Im so proud of all the hard work and support that my team displays everyday. Dedication, experience and compassion for what we do make us what we are.
Being someone who lives with chronic kidney disease and undergoing dialysis treatments I know the struggle is real. My goal is to provide help to others struggling and living on dialysis. Life is possible when dealing with kidney failure, on dialysis and waiting for a kidney. I hope our programs aid in easing our clients journey through their own kidney journey.

Being a caregiver to someone is not an easy task. Learning about CKD and all the restrictions was overwhelming. We stumbled across this organization on social media. I sent a dm and instantly was sent a reply. A rep, believe her name was Kathleen, put us at ease. Helped us with our questions and concerns using simple language that helped us understand what was going on. She provided me with further information and I left feeling better about our situation. Thank you for your services and supporting the community.

Volunteering is truly impactful and I love it.
Currently, I'm working on the tote bags for dialysis patients. I didn't realize how long dialysis treatments are, what the patients deal with or the lack of resources available to pass the time while undergoing treatments. Putting together these bags, I'm hoping the patients will get some comfort in knowing that there are people out here that don't know them but still care.

As a parent I have watched my child go through so much. With the words I'm Fine and a smile she goes about her day even though she is battling her own body fighting kidney disease everyday. Thank you for sharing your experiences and stories. You made me understand what my child is going through and that helps me be a better caregiver. Hoping all the Kidney Warriors out their get their much needed kidney.

Being diagnosed with chronic kidney disease was hard enough. Learning that you needed dialysis was another unexpected hit. Kathleen helped with my questions, eased my concerns and helped me really understand what to expect and how to cope. She was friendly, helpful and supportive.

About 3 years ago, My wife and I were introduced to the Kidney Coalition on accident. My wife and I met Kathy at one of her fundraisers, and we instantly became friends. We support the Kidney Coalition several times a year. Kathy works very hard raising money and we will always support her any way we can.

I met Kat a few years ago and only heard bits and pieces of her story. My mom passed away from End Stage Renal Failure so I decided to get to know more about her. Such a beautiful soul, forced to go through 2 transplants and live on the edge every single day of her life. I finally met her, quiet and refined, fun loving and confident, compassionate and determined. The Kidney Coalition of NYC has given her a chance to give back, to help others, to motivate and promote, to teach and learn. 5 stars seems trivial for all the time and effort she has dedicated. God Bless this organization and all of you who face kidney disease.

It's comforting to know this organization and their valuable resources are available to those in need. Kat comes with her own personal experience in the process and that brings a lot of comfort to the families. She makes herself readily available to educate the public.

I was an early supporter of Kat's. I traveled with her in her personal struggles and watched her fight on the daily basis while waiting on a transplant, on diaylsis and post transplant. Life is not easy for her but she puts a smile on her face and is determined to get the job done. Her never give up attitude is amazing and she passes on her passion to others. I admire her strength and grace through it all. She is a hero. Her dedication to helping people with ckd and their families isunparalell because she worked that same journey just at a different time. The organization is gaining visibility slowly and its because helping people is hard and the kcnyc doesn't treat anyone like a number.

I am honored to have met Kathy and even more honored to have been able to work besides her on a couple of occasions, she has been out to a couple of our events to help us out and can definitely say that she is a team player looking out for the best for everyone she comes into contact with. The dedication and hard work is amazing in spreading awareness and helping others.

I have volunteered with the Kidney Coalition of New York City Corp since the start which was 2015. The organization has worked with a lot of local organizations to promote Kidney awareness which is either helping people going through Dialysis through through the processes of getting a kidney transplant as well as supporting the families. Some of the ways the organization is currently looking to grow with community online, local dialysis centers, civic groups as well as teaming up with other organizations to spread the word.

I only know Kat for a short time. In this time I've seen her advocate for many. Her fund raising, personal contact and her own story to tell. To have someone to be able to reach out to in a time when your life is turned upside down is such a help . Her knowledge and compassion is a gift in itself.

I've known Kat for only a short while but in that time I have come to know a caring and compassionate woman who has dealt with her own struggles with strength and grace. Her own experiences with kidney disease make her the perfect kidney health coach for all those in need of support. My aunt just had a kidney removed and the first person I reached out to was Kat. Kat's calm demeanor in delivering spot on information was of great comfort to my aunt, uncle and cousin. Keep up the great work Kat!!!
