Words of Thanks

"The care and kindness I received came at a time when I felt incredibly vulnerable and overwhelmed. Her support, guidance, and willingness to help made a profound difference in how I faced my diagnosis. Because of her, I now feel more confident, more in control, and able to truly engage with my treatment and my future."

"Having access to a blood pressure monitor and scale has transformed my health journey. Thanks to Mary’s generosity and care, I can track my progress, stay motivated, and make meaningful changes to improve my wellbeing."

P.Manufelavei, Patient
"We would like to sincerely acknowledge the wonderful clinician who treated our cousin at North Shore Hospital. We really appreciated her outstanding efforts in sharing her knowledge and experiences regarding patients living with kidney disease, their journeys toward transplantation, and the profound impacts this has on their whānau. Her dedication in providing detailed, compassionate insights has greatly enriched our understanding and awareness. We are better informed of the physical, emotional, and logistical challenges faced by those living with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Our one common denominator is that we all know someone impacted by kidney disease, which makes the insights we now have even more meaningful. The clinician's generosity in sharing both professional expertise and personal stories has deepened our understanding and inspired our extended whānau here in Sydney to engage more meaningfully in supporting whanau suffering kidney disease."
