​​Can you imagine what it must be like to undergo four to five hours of treatment, three days a week - week in week out for the rest of your life - just to stay alive!

​​​​​​​

That’s the reality for Ash and his family.

For people with kidney failure they can feel trapped by a never-ending cycle of dialysis.

Kidney disease took their chance to take regular holidays. Just as it took away their freedom and their chance at a normal life. With Ash needing life-saving dialysis they could never go far. 

But that changed when they found out about the Big Red Kidney Bus.

Thanks to your kindness, Ash could get life-saving dialysis.  Mum Elle didn’t have to assist and could just relax and son Arthur could splash in the pool, ride his bike and make precious memories.  

And that’s why the Big Red Kidney Buses are one of the most important and direct ways you can help families impacted by kidney failure this summer.

Elle said,

“Getting away and taking a break - thanks to the Big Red Kidney Bus made me feel like me again. It made me feel like we weren't a family defined by illness, that we were just a normal family.”

For people with kidney failure they see the Big Red Kidney Bus as a gift. A gift of new horizons, hope and possibilities. The Bus allows people living with kidney disease and their families, to get away and spend time together, while still accessing the crucial dialysis treatment that they need.

Thank you for your compassion. Your gifts will help support much needed services like the Big Red Kidney Bus - helping to improve the lives of more  people impacted by kidney failure.
