Our Mission
At New Life Kidney Donor Assistance, we’re dedicated to supporting living kidney donors during their recovery, raising awareness about organ donation, and inspiring more people to give the gift of life.

 

Why Our Work Matters
Right now, more than 104,000 men, women, and children are waiting for a life-saving transplant in the U.S. Of those, nearly 90,000 are waiting for a kidney—that’s almost 9 out of every 10 people on the list.

Becoming a living donor is one of the most generous acts imaginable. But for many, the cost of living during recovery can be a real obstacle. Healing after surgery can take 6 to 12 weeks—or even longer—and while the donor’s body recovers, the bills don’t stop coming.

 

How We Help
We’re a 100% volunteer-driven nonprofit working to ease that burden. Our mission is simple: to help kidney donors cover essential living expenses while they heal.
During recovery, donors still face rent or mortgage payments, car loans and insurance, utilities, phone and internet bills—costs that state short-term disability or small grants often don’t fully cover.

By helping donors stay financially stable, we help save more lives. Every donor we support means one less person waiting years for a kidney transplant—where the average wait is three to five years.

 

Join Us in Making a Difference
Together, we can empower living donors, save lives, and bring hope to thousands of families.

 

All donations are tax-deductible under IRS Section 501(c)(3) and Section 170.

 

Your support truly gives the gift of life.


Thank you for helping us make new beginnings possible.
