I’m such a procrastinator. Every year I plan on donating to kidney/dialysis causes and organizations but always end up putting it off until the end of the year. I probably would donate anyway but it’s an extra bonus to have the federal/California government “pay” a portion of that. I also support my church and a few missionary organizations but have increased donations to kidney/dialysis since it’s become very personal.
This is my list for this year so far:
| Organization | Amount |
| The Kidney Project (UCSF) | $250 |
| Kidney Transplantation and Exchange Program (UCLA) | $500 |
| National Kidney Foundation | $100 |
| Dialysis Patient Citizens | $100 |
It’s not very much but I’d like to pick one in the future and become a larger donor if I can. I mentioned The Kidney Project in several posts before. It seems to be the largest artificial kidney research project but they need private donations to support development. Of course I have selfish reasons but I can’t understand why there’s isn’t more government funding since it spends billions on dialysis each year.
