We need your support
Hey neighbours👋, we wanted to share something happening here in our community and beyond.
Did you know that 1 in 10 people in NZ are affected by kidney disease? It’s something that impacts our community more than we realise.
This month is Kidney Health Month and we have an easy and powerful way to support those living with kidney disease—by donating just $3 to the Kidney Society! 💙
Here’s how you can help right now:
📱 Text KIDNEY to 3493
💰 A $3 donation will be charged to your account or phone bill.
✅ You’ll get a confirmation—just like that, you’ve made a difference!
Every donation helps fund support services and expand kidney health resources across New Zealand. Let’s come together and make a real impact—please share this with friends, family, and colleagues!
Thank you for making our community stronger! 💙
