On Wednesday, October 25, 2017 a small group of men from Dallas First United Methodist Church hosted a Lasagna Dinner and Silent Dessert Auction to help raise money for one of our very own students here at Grace who is in need of a kidney transplant. Kaden Koebcke is a fifth-grader who was diagnosed with kidney disease at the age of 2 years old and is currently in need of a living kidney donor. Kaden undergoes hemodialysis treatments 3 times a week which is very hard on his body.

To support Kaden and his family we here at Grace will host a variety of events to help raise funds to aid them during this time as well as to raise awareness of Kaden’s need of a kidney. If you are interested in being a donor yourself, know of someone else who may be willing to donate a kidney or simply want to help spread the word please see the information below.
