MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hi everyone!!

We are at the end of 2024. I hope you all had a great year. 

The holidays are here!! Christmas is a time of love, joy and togetherness. Christmas is also a time to show your appreciation for the people who have helped, supported or guided you.

The Jamaica Kidney Kids Foundation would like to thank you to everyone who has assisted or supported us throughout the year. We immensely grateful for your donations, whether financial, in gifts or with your time. Your contributions have helped to grow our Foundation and help us to continue our mission of not letting children in Jamaica die from kidney disease because of poverty.

May your homes be filled with love and warmth this Christmas, and as we head into a new year, let’s look back at the year we are leaving behind and be thankful for the new memories.

May your 2025 be filled with joy, peace and abundance as we remain hopeful of the opportunities and surprises to come.

Have a great Christmas!
