Thank you to everyone who makes the #giftoflife possible across the country, including those on our ConnectLife staff. ๐๐
March is #KidneyMonth. Today we are taking a moment to thank both deceased and living kidney donors that save lives every day. Has your life been impacted by kidney donation? ๐
Show your kidneys some love. They do so much for our bodies! #KidneyMonth
