WHO WE HELP

  • Orange background with large white text displaying '77%'.

    ~77% of recipents live below the U.S. federal poverty guidelines

  • Three white dollar signs on an orange background.

    #1 reason for assistance is the unaffordability of supplies

  • Thanks to the generous people who donate to Kindred Box, I can live a better life and not worry about going without ostomy supplies.
