Make a Donation in Sandy Springs and Help Kidney Disease Patients throughout the Nation

handsA donation in Sandy Springs can actually help patients suffering from kidney disease throughout the nation. How? American Kidney Services (AKS), a local charity right here in the Metro area, collects your donations of used clothes and household items, then donates the proceeds from these items directly to the American Kidney Fund (AKF), which is a national nonprofit health organization that gives financial assistance to kidney patients. Whether they need help with dialysis costs, covering their insurance premiums, or simply meeting their daily living expenses, patients in need can apply for grants from AKF.

AKF, one of the top charity organizations dedicated to the fight against kidney disease, is ranked as a 4 Star Charity by Charity Navigator and as a Gold Star Charity by Forbes magazine. In 2010, AKF was able to provide financial assistance to over 100,000 patients throughout the country and millions of people received free information about preventing and treating kidney disease.
