A Cause for Candice - Fat Joe & Roc Nation Are Calling on All of Us

A Real Person. A Real Need. A Kidney Can Save Her Life.

"She needs our help, she needs a kidney."— Fat Joe, in partnership with Roc Nation and Team Roc

Kidney Konnect stands fully behind #ACauseForCandice — a powerful campaign supported by Roc Nation, Team Roc, and hip-hop icon Fat Joe to help a woman named Candice find a living kidney donor match.

Candice's story is not unique — but it is urgent. Tens of thousands of people across the country are on the national kidney transplant waiting list right now. The average wait time is 3 to 5 years. Many never make it.

That's why campaigns like this one matter. And that's exactly why Kidney Konnect exists.

The Numbers Behind the Crisis

Candice's story puts a face on a national epidemic:

• 🔴 Over 100,000 people are currently on the kidney transplant waiting list in the U.S.

• 🔴 13 people die every day waiting for a kidney transplant

• 🔴 Black Americans make up nearly 35% of patients on the kidney waiting list — far disproportionate to their share of the population

• 🔴 A living donor kidney lasts, on average, 15–20 years — nearly twice as long as a deceased donor kidney

One person. One decision. One kidney. A lifetime of difference.

Why Kidney Konnect Is Amplifying This Campaign

At Kidney Konnect, our mission is to close the gap between the kidney disease crisis and the communities most affected by it. When cultural icons like Fat Joe and institutions like Roc Nation use their platforms to raise kidney health awareness, it reaches people that traditional health messaging never does.

We are proud to stand with Candice, with Team Roc, and with every person waiting for the gift of life.

Get screened. Get educated. Get involved.
