LIVING DONORS

We are here for you. Whether you’re just thinking about possibly donating, your surgery is scheduled, or the surgery is over and you’re on your way to recovery, we exist to help you. Until our full site launches in a few weeks, we are relying on email to communicate with you – reach out to us if you’d like help with any of the topics below. Otherwise, stay tuned for the full launch, coming soon!

We can connect you with other living donors so you can talk

  • We know many living donors (potential and past) who are willing to talk with you, to ask and answer questions, share knowledge and experiences and advice, or just lend an understanding ear. Email us with your thoughts or questions, and we’ll get back to you to introduce you to other donors.

We can guide you to the best resources on the Web

  • Check out the Greatest Gift Blog

  • When our full site launches in a few weeks, it will offer links to what we think are the best resources for things like explaining living donor procedures, finding financial assistance to offset your donation costs, promoting fast recovery, and coping with the complex emotions involved. Stay tuned.

We can give you some free advice on how to start a blog or use a networking site (like Facebook or MySpace)

  • Many living donors have started blogs to keep their friends and family informed easily, or to enjoy a therapeutic creative outlet to express themselves. It’s not hard to get started, and we can lead the way for you.

We can keep you informed

  • We follow living donor transplant-related issues, news, and data closely, and aim to objectively digest it for our living donor community.

 

TRANSPLANT CANDIDATES OR RECIPIENTS

We hope our mission to help living organ donors extends naturally to helping you as well. We invite you to join us for conversation and networking and to take advantage of all our foundation has to offer. Your perspectives and thoughts are especially valuable to us as we work to connect people for caring conversation – email us if you’d like participate or tell us what’s on your mind. Many of the resources we will link to (as described in the living donor section above) will apply to you as well. In the meantime, you and your loved ones are in our community’s collective thoughts and prayers.


FAMILIES AND FRIENDS

Your support is overwhelmingly important to the living donor or transplant candidate you’re here for. And we know you sometimes need support as well. First and foremost, don’t hesitate to reach out to us to engage in conversation. Your perspective, questions, concerns, and thoughts are valuable to us, and chances are good we can connect you with other community members who can understand what you are going through, lend an empathetic ear, and answer your questions.


TRANSPLANT PROFESSIONALS

Thank you for being here! The Greatest Gift Foundation exists to complement the work you do, and therefore our success depends on your input. We believe there is an opportunity to support you and your teams with patient education, issue and health awareness, networking and continuing education, and the promotion of best practices across the country.

We are meeting with transplant care teams throughout the U.S. to learn as much as possible about your challenges, procedures, best practices, and ideas. To schedule a meeting with us or send us feedback in writing, contact us any time at greatestgiftfoundation@gmail.com.
