Kidney foundation warned about donations by Texas bureau
The Better Business Bureau urged caution for donations to the Kidney Foundation of the Permian Basin noting lack of jurisdiction for mandates. Greg Johnson of the Kidney Foundation of Texas says the Permian Basin group is not affiliated with the national charity and seeks a name change to avoid confusion. Complaints peaked in July with callers soliciting minimum gifts and offering organ donor cards in return, including pre addressed envelopes and pickup promises.
