The OUI Works Donor Assistance Program is a non-profit organization providing services to help families defray the spiraling cost of healthcare. After Medicare and Medicaid portions of the medical bill are paid and all deductible are met, frequently the remaining balance is still a major burden for most individuals and families. The cost of healthcare for short and long term illnesses are exorbitant, leaving families on the edge of a financial crisis. It is   difficult, if not almost impossible, to make ends meet. When a potential transplant recipents considers the burden and stress related to covering medical expenses and the desire to have a family member return to optimum health, it can seem quite often insurmountable.

The OUI Works Living Donor Assistance Program will work with families to qualify them for assistance  to help in those unique or special cases.  In some cases,  we can provide assistance that help to reduce, and frequently eliminates, those to living donors at the time of the transplant surgery.
 
Please take a moment to send us a more personal note to Contact Us. Right now you have an opportunity to reach the broader community of OUIWorks bloggers and spread the word about kidney disease and the transplant experience. Help us educate and communicate to the world -- make a difference in the lives of those in need.  Also visit us at http://www.ouiworks.blogspot.com/ located at blogger.com.
 
Thank you sincerely for your continued support and donations,

Subject: Chronic Kidney Disease and End Stage Renal Failure

Many of you have expressed an interest in my experience as a person with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and End Stage Renal Failure. While this condition is as serious as it sounds, it does not mean the end of a good quality of life as I pursue the need for a kidney. First, let me say that I continue to be active and feel good. I make this point because when people hear that I am on dialysis, they generally express their sympathy and/or look very sad. Most people have heard the stories of how tired many people are when they are on dialysis. When I first started dialysis, using another type of dialysis, I had that experience and not every person the same experience. But, since I started home-based peritoneal dialysis (PD), I don’t any more. Peritoneal dialysis has given me a good portion of my lifestyle back. Instead of taking an intense four-hour treatment three to four times per week, I take a treatment each night while I am asleep. It’s not painful and for the most part does not interrupt my sleep. It also means that I have my waking hours available to do things outside of my home. The PD machine is portable and allows me to travel. And Baxter makes it convenient by delivering the supplies for the treatment to anyplace that I travel. After speaking with me several times and inquiring about my health, my friend, Toya Evans, encouraged me to write some short blogs about my experience. She felt that it would help many people overcome their fear. In future blogs, I will show you the machine and tell you about my daily experience. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to ask. (For those of you who know me, you know that I will tell you the whole truth.) Thanks for your support and I look forward to hearing from you. I invite you to join my blog. Glenda V.

Subject: Kidney Disease Education Program

Glenda, I want to share with your readers and the community some very interesting information about Kidney Disease. The National Institute of Health and the Department of Health and Human Services are co-sponsoring a website discussing how important it is to be tested for Kidney Disease. Some individuals are diagnosis Diabetes & High Blood Pressure. These people are at an increase risk for developing the disease. As a healthcare professional, I recommend people be tested annually and check out this website for more detail information: http://nkdep.nih.gov/patients/kidney_disease_testing.htm We should do our best to educate everyone and watch out for potential problems.
