Year End Donations

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:

OrganizationAmount
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.
