Thank you to everyone who donated to our Christmas Gift Drive. Because of your help, we were able to pack another round of relief packages for our Kidney Kids families who were severely affected by Hurricane Melissa. We were also able to give gifts to our Kidney Kids on dialysis.

JKKF would like to say a special thank you to UNICEF, which always includes our Kidney Kids in its Christmas gifting.

Thank you to Mrs. Trudy Francis and her team at Caroling at Beethoven for their generous donation to our Foundation. We are immensely grateful.

World Kidney Day went off without a hitch this year. Thank you to everyone who visited our booth at the Sovereign centre.

A big thank you also goes out to our volunteers, the UHWI Nephrology Team and the UTECH School of Pharmacy. Without you, the day would not have been possible.

The Jamaican Nurses in Huston made a significant donation of dialysis consumables to the Foundation. We are grateful for our new friends and their interest in our cause to help children with kidney disease. Thank You.

A special thank you also goes to Ms. Marjorie McLean who donated, from her personal savings, $1,000 USD. We are grateful.

This year, Child's Month is being celebrated under the theme "Prioritise Our Children's Mental Health: Strong Minds, Safer Future."

Every child is important and should be cared for, loved and protected. We love all our children and try to do our best to care for them. Our children need our support and protection.

As parents and guardians, we have a responsibility to provide a safe space for our children, not only physically but mentally and emotionally. Mentally strong children grow into confident and productive adults. 

"Your children need your presence, not your presents." - Jesse Jackson

For Child's Month, the Jamaica Kidney Kids Foundation was invited to the Half Way Tree Primary School's Blood Drive. 

Thank you to Half Way Tree Primary School for inviting us. We had a great time sharing our information and interacting with the students.

Belated Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing mothers who go above and beyond for their children. 

Special love to our Kidney Kids mothers, who, despite the challenges, go the extra mile to love, support and take care of their children.

We love you all!!

A special thank you goes out to Mr. Justin Brown and his family for their generous donation of $1 Million Jamaican Dollars. Justin participated in lapathons over a period of one and a half years, and raised a total of $780,000. The remaining balance was donated by his family to make up the one million dollars.

The Jamaica Kidney Kids Foundation is extremely grateful for the help we have received from The CHASE Fund in our mission to save lives. Through the CHASE Fund, we were able to acquire dialysis equipment for our Kidney Kids at the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI) Paediatric Dialysis Unit.

The JKKF continues to donate catheters and medication monthly to aid in the care of our children with kidney disease. These donations help to save or lengthen the life of a child on dialysis. 

We are currently financially strapped and need help to continue supporting the children. We would like to encourage you all to donate, even if it is just $100, every little counts.

Now, as is customary, we publicly thank some of the tremendously generous people and entities who have contributed to us effectively achieving our goals.
