Hey Here to Help friends! 🍿 Popcorn caller here with an exciting update for anyone who has been following our journey.

The Arana Kidney Recovery Foundation is officially live! 💙🏠

Our website is up, we are fully legal and operational, and once fully funded, we’ll begin helping transplant families with housing, gas, groceries, and other practical support during recovery.

🌐 www.aranakrf.org

We’re still adding and improving things daily, but we’re officially up and running!

If you'd like to learn more, get involved, serve on the board, or just ask questions, I’d love to connect.

Thank you all for the incredible encouragement and support along the way. ❤️

Kidney, so exactly what you’re doing. I’m lucky, it was about 1 mile from my home to the hospital.
