AKF thanks corporate donors who helped AKF mobilize Disaster Relief Program
ROCKVILLE, MD / ACCESSWIRE / March 16, 2021 / When the severe winter storm struck Texas in February, the American Kidney Fund (AKF) mobilized its longstanding Disaster Relief Program to help patients in crisis, providing $325,000 to more than 1,600 dialysis and post-transplant patients who were facing critical needs. This support was made possible by generous donations from the public and from Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Apellis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Horizon Therapeutics plc, Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc. and Vifor Pharma.
Water service disruptions, power outages and temporary dialysis clinic closures put patients in dangerous and challenging positions. Donations made it possible for AKF to support patients with emergency grants of $200 each that helped them find alternative shelter and pay for renal-friendly foods, as well as transportation and medical essentials.
