For families like Lachy's, it's important they know we are here to support them now and every step ahead.

Please give today to help provide vital support services.

Rebecca and Brett were as excited as any parents-to-be when they went for their 20-week scan of their baby boy Lachy. But instead they learned some news that changed everything.​​​​​​​

“The doctor said it looked like there was some kind of blockage and our baby’s kidneys were deflated,” explains Rebecca.

But it wasn’t a blockage. When Lachy was born, he was found to have cysts in both kidneys. Two months later, his kidneys failed.

Rebecca and Brett were terrified. Like many families, they were plunged into a world they didn’t understand. They hadn’t even known a baby could have such severe kidney problems, and now they had to learn how to give Lachy peritoneal dialysis at home.

They needed information they could trust, and that’s how they found Kidney Health Australia.

Kidney disease can have a huge and sudden impact on people’s lives. We need to be here from day one to provide support, information and vital services for families.

Please will you help? A kind gift could help support a child like Lachy every step of the way.
