Travel Loans

Assistance to make travel a reality for individuals requiring hemodialysis 

The Travel Loan program is designed to help make travel more convenient and affordable for  Ontarians  on dialysis. Individuals who require dialysis cannot ignore their regular dialysis schedule even when travelling on vacation or business. The Travel Loan program is designed to assist hemodialysis patients with the upfront costs of out-of-country dialysis treatments. Upon return, the patient must submit all required documentation to Out of Province Claims and re-direct the reimbursement (the amount of the loan) back to the Kidney Foundation. The interest-free loans must be repaid upon the patient's return.  For more information on Financial Assistance contact us.

Ontario Application Process 

Applications for travel loans are made through renal social workers at community units, hospital renal programs or kidney care clinics. The applicant must meet eligibility requirements. Total funds available for this program are limited.
