Holiday Gratitude from ReMend

Thank You for Walking This Journey With Us!

As the year comes to a close, I want to pause and say a heartfelt thank you.

To our mentors—you show up with empathy, honesty, and the kind of support that makes people feel less alone.

To our mentees and community members—thank you for trusting ReMend with your story, your questions, and your hopes.

To our caregivers, donors, and partners—your encouragement and collaboration help us keep building something meaningful.

Kidney disease can feel overwhelming. But this community continues to prove something powerful: when people connect with people who get it, the journey feels a little lighter—and a lot more possible.

As we head into the new year, we’re excited about what’s ahead, including:

• ReMend Roundtable Discussions – real conversations, practical topics, and supportive community dialogue

• A fresh ReMend newsletter – updates, resources, and community highlights (no fluff, promise)

• New ways to share mentor wisdom and patient experiences—so more people can feel informed and supported

From all of us at ReMend, thank you for being part of this mission and this community. Wishing you a peaceful holiday season and a hopeful start to the new year.

—Kiku, Executive Director, ReMend
