Story

Meet Esther Helton, TN State Representative House District 30 and Council Member City of East Ridge, and her professional dance partner Nelson Rodriguez. 

Esther is also a semi retired hemodialysis nurse so she is excited to raise funds for this organization close to her heart. Team Esther is raising money for the Patient Transportation Program. Kidney patients could have dialysis up to three times a week and transportation costs can quickly accrue. This program provides patients with grants to transport them to and from their dialysis treatments for an entire year. This program also provides financial assistance for emergency transportation situations. 

Thank you for supporting Team Esther and The Chattanooga Kidney Foundation.
