My Nonprofit Reviews

I have been involved with Renal Support Network for the last four years, and I have found it to be one of the best patient-centered organizations for people experiencing kidney disease in any capacity- just diagnosed, dialysis/transplant, family member, etc. RSN's founder, Lori Hartwell, is a kidney patient herself and has worked hard to bring together a community focused on educating people about kidney disease and treatment options, advocating and spreading awareness, and sharing personal experiences.

My family and I have been able to participate in many programs offered through RSN, including nutrition classes, exercise classes, the monthly craft group, annual patient conference and the essay contest each year. These have given us a chance to connect with others going through the same medical journey. I've also personally accessed many articles and podcasts on RSN"s website to help myself become better-informed about my kidney disease. All of these programs and resources are free of charge and are open to all ages. Best of all-most programs are also offered virtually! That's a huge benefit to people like me who aren't local to the Los Angeles area but would like to participate in all that RSN has to offer.

RSN has made a difference in my life and I would strongly recommend it as a nonprofit.
