The moment your baby is born, your first question is always, Is everything OK?’
We already knew something was very wrong before Leif was even delivered. It was devastating.
After an easy pregnancy, Sri and Kari were shocked to learn at their 36-week ultrasound that their baby’s life was in danger. Tiny Leifur was delivered via emergency caesarean and began life in neonatal care.
All we knew was his kidneys were underdeveloped and he had a kidney condition. It took ages to find out what this meant for Leif and for our family. We really struggled!
Sadly, the financial, physical and emotional impact of kidney disease is lifelong - there is no cure.
Your gifts will help kidney kids and their family access vital support services to help manage the impact of kidney disease, connect with others, and achieve a better quality of life.
