Kiindee Canada

Kiindee is here to help you find a living kidney donor. No one should face this journey alone.

Your Personal Advocate and Educational Tool Powered by AI

Kiindee is an AI-powered app that acts as a virtual advocate, supporting patients through the kidney donation process by sharing their challenge and educating potential donors.

A Father's Life-Changing Decision

Kiindee was inspired by Brent Cheal's personal journey. His daughter was diagnosed with kidney disease at ten, and a transplant was her only option. Brent donated a kidney, giving her a new lease on life.

Sixteen years later, her donated kidney began to deteriorate. Finding a new donor proved far more difficult, revealing how isolating and overwhelming the process can be.

The Harsh Reality of Finding a Donor

1

Deceased Donor Waitlists

With over 4,000 Canadians waiting for a kidney, deceased donor waitlists offered no immediate hope, leaving Brent's daughter in a state of uncertainty.

2

Emotional Burden

The prospect of finding someone to donate a kidney created an overwhelming emotional struggle, filled with guilt and anxiety, impacting important relationships.

3

Life Disruption

As Brent's daughters health declined, dialysis became unavoidable, resulting in a painful departure from work and career aspirations while depending on long-term disability support.

A Mission to Support Recipients & Donors

Inspired by Brent and his daughter's real struggle with the kidney donation process, Kiindee was born. It transforms the kidney donation journey from an isolating challenge to a supported, empowered experience.

Supporting Recipients By Sharing their Story

Uses AI to craft personalized, compassionate messages that help recipients confidently reach out to potential living donors without feeling desperate or uncomfortable.

Educating Potential Donors

Provides comprehensive, easy-to-understand resources about living donation, demystifying the process and addressing common fears and misconceptions.

Ensuring Accessibility

Completely free platform, funded by the Renal Patient and Donor Foundation (RPDF), ensuring no financial barriers prevent connection and hope.

More Than a Transplant—A Second Chance

Organ transplantation represents one of medicine's greatest achievements, offering not just survival, but the promise of a full and meaningful life. These miraculous procedures transform patients' lives, often leading to unexpected joys - from renewed health to finding lasting love and deeper human connections.

After two difficult years on dialysis, Brent's daughter, Kaleena, received a second kidney transplant—an experience that transformed her future. Now, she shares her inspiring journey of hope and renewal.
