Working to support families, educate our community, and fight Nephrotic Syndrome
B.HOPE GIVING DRIVE
Spread HOPE this season! Gift a Backpack of Hope to a child with Nephrotic Syndrome.
Nephrotic Syndrome is a serious and rare auto-immune disease that affects the kidneys and stops them from working. There is no known cause and no cure. Every day, we find more kids battling Nephrotic Syndrome without support—until now. NSF's Backpacks of Hope offers a child a backpack full of comfort items, medical supplies, and educational materials. Inside is a warm blanket, swell-style water bottle, medical supplies, over-ear headphones, a gift for the patient and siblings, important educational information, and much more. Each backpack is a personal connection to others on the same journey.
HOW TO SUPPORT:
Sponsor a Backpack of Hope for a child with a tax deductible donation of $250, or contribute ANY amount toward the program. Each is an incredible gift to a family, delivering hope and light in an often dark journey. For details on what's inside each Backpack click here.

It’s been the hardest time of our lives since diagnosis. The worry, the stress, and the unknown. Waking up one morning, having his and our lives changed so suddenly has been very hard. Jaxon’s Backpack of Hope arrived today and it brought so much happiness. The level of thought, care and pure kindness inside is honestly something I’ll remember forever.”- Patient Mom
Wow! We are in awe of the generosity, resources, and thoughtful touches. Our son was thrilled and surprised by everything in the bag. From the soft blanket to the headphones, the backpack was filled with so many helpful things. Thank you for everything your organization does and bringing comfort to our family."- Patient Family
