Meet Our Founder
Passionate. Unique. Loyal. Resilient. These words are commonly used to describe Sharron S. Rouse. A native of Prince George’s County, Maryland, she has dedicated her life to influencing the world and leaving a mark that can never be erased. On a beautiful, fall day in September 2006, Sharron woke up with swollen legs. Concerned, she went to the emergency room and was told that her kidneys were failing. Over time, her kidneys began to decline, and she was placed on dialysis. On December 2, 2013, Sharron received the gift of life (a new kidney) from her sister, Shonte’ Simpson. Kindness for Kidneys International, Inc. was birthed as a result of her journey with chronic kidney disease, dialysis, and now a kidney transplant. Sharron desires to change the face of kidney disease by sharing her story to bring hope and healing to each kidney warrior she encounters.
Kidney Konversations
“Kidney Konversations” are a great way to bring families together around kidney disease and the impact it has on the individual and the entire family. Whether it is a simple information session on kidney disease or a more in depth conversation about organ donation, Kidney Konversations provide a safe space for dialogue. The sessions are 30 minutes to an hour and can be held in the comfort of your home or any other desired location. If you would like Kindness for Kidneys to host a Kidney Konversation for you and/or your family and friends, please submit your request below.
