The Irish K i dn ey A s s o c i a t i on i s the on ly national organi sa t i on working solely i n the interest of patients with chronic kidney disease. More and more Irish families are relying on the financial and psychological support they receive from the Irish Kidney Association. Since 6 0% of the patients are unemployed the IKA is called on to help with the basic family requirements - rent, electricity, school books and uniforms, drugs and sadly of all burial expenses. Research, purchases of life saving equipment and printing of the donor cards help improve the quality of life of the patients. This vo l un t a ry o r gan i s a t i on i s a registered charity and we badly need your help.
