Went to have lunch at The Spring this afternoon and was approached by a UNIMAS student who was a volunteer for the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) of Malaysia. She explained in detail on the current fundraising programme called NKF Direct Debit Donor. It’s a way for donors who want to make constant contribution to the foundation without the need of going to the NKF centers. You can start being an on-going donor from RM38 per month until you decided to stop (no contract of whatsover). Just give them a call if you decide to stop contributing to the foundation. By signing up as an on-going donor, you’ll be given a report every three months, informing you how NKF have spent the money they have raised and all donations are tax-exempted. Basically, NKF subsidises the cost of life-saving dialysis treatment for lower income group. A normal dialysis treatment session at the private hospital would cost up to RM300 and patients need to undergo at least 3 sessions per month and that’s a whooping RM600.
So I’ve signed up as an on-going donor as well. At least I know by contributing RM1.26 per day, i can help to save life. Being a organ donor as well, I do think awareness campaign on how to take care of our kidney is also important. Educating the children from young would be a good start. NKF is organising several campaign in schools and shopping malls too. So I think I’m going to participate as a volunteer!
