Can anyone provide feedback on a Kidney Disease gift guide?

I’ve been working on putting together a comprehensive gift guide specifically for people with Kidney Disease: kidney-disease.curated.spry...

We all know that moment - someone texts “let me know if there’s anything I can do to help,” and while their intention is genuine, it’s hard to respond with specific needs. That’s why I’ve spent time researching and consulting with patients to create a curated list that turns those well-meaning offers into concrete ways people can actually help make daily life with kidney disease easier.

The guide is available at kidney-disease.curated.spry... and includes everything from practical items to comfort items to links to free online resources and communities.

I’d really appreciate it if you could take a look and let me know:

- What essential items am I missing?

- Are there items on the list that aren’t as helpful as they seem?

- What else would you want to see in a resource like this?

Hello: Wow! I like your KD gift guide. Well done? How about Flexitol creams for very bad cracked feet and hands? Works in one day! I personally recommend it. I like the idea of a cup someone else suggested. I didn't see a reusable water bottle to carry drinks in or a thermos for hot liquids. How about a memory foam or similar seat cushion for sitting? Question: is this aimed at just dialysis patients or all CKD patients. How about some items for those not on dialysis and post-transplant? Other useful websites are: aakp.org/ National Kidney Federation in UK For PKD patients: pkdcure.org/ Good job! Keep it up! Thanks for putting this useful site together!

Not what you're looking for?
