[about] MISSION The Greatest Gift Foundation improves the care, knowledge, and support that living organ donors receive throughout their donation experience, from initial consideration through recovery and beyond. We do this by connecting living donors with each other as a community to share their experiences and support, by simplifying the search for the best available resources, and by working with transplant programs to identify and promote the use of best practices in donor care. The Greatest Gift Foundation is a nonprofit corporation headquartered in Minneapolis, MN. 501(c)(3) pending. The Greatest Gift Foundation does not provide medical advice, counseling services, or recommendations for treatment. We recommend contacting a physician for any questions about medical care. ABOUT THIS SITE This Web site will serve as the hub of our activities, but it’s under construction — the full site will be launched in May 2008. The content here today is just something to get us started. Please check back! LEADERSHIP The Greatest Gift Foundation was formed in 2007 by Becky Waller, a living organ donor (the world’s first laparoscopic living donor liver resection, 2006, at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago) for her brother Joe Waller, who had Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis. Joe has successfully recovered from his transplant and now works as an organ transplant coordinator. Becky serves as President of the Board of Directors, along with Joe and six other professionals with varying backgrounds including OPO coordination, medical administration, finance, social media, law, and more. Becky can be reached by email at greatestgiftfoundation@gmail.com or at 612-578-7004.
