Imagine needing to stay close to a dialysis chair - to undergo five hours of treatment, three days a week, every week - just to stay alive!

For people with kidney failure, they often feel trapped by their never-ending dialysis routine.

That’s why services like the Big Red Kidney Bus are life-changing. It gives people like Ana a rare chance to escape the gruelling routine, to take a much needed break and still access life saving dialysis.​​​​​​​

The impact of kidney failure on Ana's health is not only physical but financial and emotional. 

People with kidney disease like Ana see the Big Red Kidney Bus as a lifeline. A gift of new horizons, hope and possibilities.

“I just want to feel normal. When you take a holiday, you don’t have that sensation of being a sick person. You are just living a normal life. Your illness is not the focus.” 

The Bus allows people living with kidney failure and their families, to get away and spend time together, while still accessing the dialysis treatment that they need.

Thank you for your compassion.

Your gifts will help keep our 3 Big Red Kidney Buses, Marj, Suzi and Kate on the road.
