Our Founders Story

After navigating my transition to the adult side without support for over a year, I knew things had to change.

That's why I started NW Kidney Connection

Dakota Watson, Founder

Our Co-Founders Story

"Being part of northwest Kidney connections means so much to me because both my sister and I have gone through multiple organ transplants and know how hard the journey can be. Giving back here lets me support kids and families with the same hope and community that carried us through."
