When this happens, we invite you to donate your vehicle to AKF and let your old lifeline become the lifeline for a kidney patient. Let your old car, truck, RV or even boat be the reason someone with kidney disease can keep his or her insurance and continue to live a full life. Your car can be a vehicle of change for countless kidney patients.
