At Renavida, our mission is to transform the lives of individuals within the Hispanic community affected by Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) and other kidney conditions by facilitating living kidney donations and raising awareness about kidney health. Inspired by the personal journey of our founder, Nercy, who has battled PKD and witnessed its impact on her family, Renavida is dedicated to bridging the gap between those in need of a kidney transplant and potential donors.
We strive to empower underserved communities with crucial information, resources, and support, while fostering a compassionate network of donors and recipients. By leveraging innovative approaches and collaborating with existing organizations, we aim to create a beacon of hope and a pathway to life-saving kidney donations. Through education, outreach, and advocacy, Renavida is committed to improving kidney health outcomes and building a healthier future for those affected by PKD.
Through collaboration with medical centers, patient advocacy, and community outreach, Renavida strives to increase the number of living kidney donors and to provide a second chance at life for those in need
Collaboration with healthcare professionals is essential to the success of Renavida's mission. We partner with doctors, nurses, and transplant specialists to promote best practices in kidney donation and transplantation
Renavida is deeply committed to patient advocacy, ensuring that the voices and needs of kidney patients are heard and addressed. We work closely with patients and their families to navigate the complex healthcare system, providing guidance and support throughout the kidney donation process
We engage Hispanic and Latino communities by providing culturally tailored education and resources to raise awareness of kidney donation's life-saving potential. Through local events and partnerships, we break down barriers, dispel myths, and empower the community to contribute to kidney health
By choosing to donate a kidney, you have the opportunity to make an extraordinary impact on someone’s life. Living kidney donation offers better outcomes for recipients compared to deceased donor transplants, including shorter waiting times and a lower risk of rejection. Your act of generosity can help reduce the transplant waiting list and offer hope to those suffering from kidney failure.
Living kidney donation involves donating one of your two healthy kidneys to someone in need, often a family member, friend, or even a stranger.
The process of becoming a living kidney donor involves several steps, starting with a comprehensive medical evaluation to ensure you are a suitable donor.
Donors often report a deep sense of satisfaction and emotional reward from helping another person in such a profound way.
Most donors lead completely normal lives after donating a kidney. Your remaining kidney will take on the work of both, and your overall health will be closely monitored following the donation.
If you’re considering becoming a living kidney donor, Renavida is here to help you take the next step. We’ll guide you through the process, answer your questions, and connect you with the right resources. Reach out to us, and together, we’ll explore if living donation is the right choice for you—making a life-changing impact on someone’s future.
