Where can you find pamphlets and resources to share about CKD and dialysis?

You're absolutely right that kidney disease awareness needs more attention! There are several organizations that provide free materials you can share:

Organizations with shareable resources:
* National Kidney Foundation (NKF) - offers flyers, videos, and social media posts
* National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) - provides educational materials and toolkits
* American Kidney Fund - has resources and awareness materials
* NephCure - offers educational content about kidney diseases

These organizations create materials specifically designed for sharing during National Kidney Month and year-round awareness efforts.

Ways to spread awareness:

You can share information through social media if face-to-face conversations feel difficult. Even posting about your dialysis appointments or how kidney disease affects daily life helps people understand what living with this condition is really like.

Your passion for raising awareness is powerful. Living with polycystic kidney disease and being on dialysis gives you a unique perspective that can truly help others understand why kidney health matters.
