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.

Through this 2024 campaign, we hope to fund Backpacks of Hope for 120 children. Every Backpack is delivered to a child who truly needs it, offering light and love to a family on an often dark journey. 

Sponsor a Backpack of Hope for a child with a donation of $250, or contribute ANY amount toward the program. All donations are 100% tax deductible. 
Thanks to the amazing support of The Quest Foundation, every donation made before 12/31/24 will be matched up to $30,000!

Your donation, in any amount, will directly improve the lives of those dealing with Nephrotic Syndrome. Click here for more information on what is included in each Backpack.
