It Only Takes One is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization creating awareness for living and altruistic donation, transplantation, and kidney disease through collaborative planning, community initiative, and advocacy.
What We Do
Our Mission is to provide donor education while educating high-risk groups about kidney disease. We also aim to create avenues for kidney patients and their families. We advocate and collaborate to improve kidney health, while encouraging others to Save a Life and Be a Donor. We curate successful outreach programs, catering those affected by kidney disease through our Get Involved initiatives.
Through our ‘get-involved’ initiatives, we strive to make serving populations and communities effective through the execution and implementation of Dialysis Drives, community events, campaigns, and educational presentations that cater to those affected by CKD.
Our liasions partake in webinars and missionary work to serve as voices for kidney patients and donors. We communicate with lawmakers and the local and national media. Efforts are supported through urging legislators to fund research, protect kidney patients, participate in summits, and raise awareness for CKD.
We are patient-focused and offer patient education about kidney health, one kidney at a time with emphasis on early detection and knowing family history. We identify, motivate, advocate, empower, and support patients by providing social platforms where patients can share their stories. We create avenues for kidney patients and their families by partnering with a variety of organizations to encourage people to lead healthy lifestyles while selecting treatment options that optimize quality of life.
We strive to offer annual scholarship opportunities to high school and college studies affected by CKD with desires to continue furthering education.
While most are born with two kidneys, it only takes one to combat CKD, and one to save a life as a living donor. In conjunction with donor education and decade-long partnerships with organizations such as the National Kidney Foundation, our Get Involved initiatives make serving populations and communities effective by implementing successful dialysis drives, community events, social media campaigns, and educational presentations that cater to those affected by CKD.
Volunteer with us as we schedule dialysis drives, organize walks and fundraisers, and celebrate patients and healthcare heroes at our annual banquet.
Asking lawmakers to co-sponsor legislation have encouraged sustainable change in attitudes and behaviors, while ensuring equal access to coverage and care alongside the promotion of CKD research. Join us in supporting these efforts.
Your contribution will be used towards education and advocacy to ensure patients conquering kidney disease has the resources and support to be empowered!
