Greetings! 

TopOne thing people on dialysis treasure is independence. Those who do not have to rely on a machine to live might not give their kidneys and the amazing function they do a second thought. In addition to celebrating Independence Day, I will celebrate the independence my living donor Cyndi gave me. Tell us how you're celebrating on our Facebook page.

EmbraceHope Jewelry New Collection
second chance jewelry Second Chance Collection
We are excited to introduce the Second Chance Collection, a new line of EmbraceHOPE Jewelry featuring the RSN kidney-heart charm and a kidney chain link.

When it comes to receiving the "gift of life", a second chance has new meaning. This collection: Ann, Kathleen, and Remember Me is dedicated to Ann Lopez and Kathleen Hostert, both living kidney donors, and to all deceased donors.

Learn more about EmbraceHope and the Second Chance Collection at www.RSNhope.org and on shop on Etsy.com at the EmbraceHopeJewelry store.

In Southern California the temperatures have reached above the 100s and we're on high alert for fires. It's important to protect yourself from the heat, use sunscreen, and make sure your don't get dehydrated. All of us at RSN were so saddened to hear the news about the brave fire fighters that lost their lives fighting the fires in Arizona.
