Today we’d like to introduce you to Carolyn Lemos.
Hi Carolyn, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Started in 2008.
As a non profit to bring awareness to the community specifically those affected by kidney disease. The intention is and has always been to educate and provide preventative solutions, supportive services, resources, advocacy and outreach programs to kidney patients, and to those at risk of developing the disease.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
IN the past some obstacles have been funding. Most of our staff are volunteers which leads to a high turnover rate. The community’s need outweighs the supportive staff. Adequate office space.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
