Make An Impact
Your support is powerful
Together we can impact the lives of children and families affected by the organ transplantation process.
It’s through your generosity that we are able to provide healing and hope for these families.
Donor Awareness
Anyone can become an organ donor.
Registering to become an organ donor is a profoundly altruistic act that holds the power to transform tragedy into hope, as it allows individuals to give the gift of life to those facing terminal illnesses and organ failure, ensuring that even in death, they can continue to make a positive impact on the world by potentially saving multiple lives through the generous donation of their organs and tissues.
Children who receive transplants embark on a lifelong journey of constant health vigilance, financial and social acceptance, insecurity, mental health issues and a range of other challenges. Together with their families, children must navigate these new overwhelming hurdles in an often confusing medical system.
We provide critical support every step of the way from infancy into early adulthood, for transplant children and their families with services that include family support, peer networks and emergency funds.
Family Emergency Assistance
Our Family Emergency Assistance Programs offers immediate financial, emotional and lodging assistance for transplant families who are facing unforeseen and overwhelming expenses, stress or must temporarily be displaced from their home for transplant care.
