A moment of gratitude

Somewhere, someone said yes.

Every transplant begins with a gift. To the donor and the donor's family: thank you, from all of us and from two very hard-working new organs. To the surgeons, nurses and the whole transplant team: thank you. And to everyone who read this page, got tested, printed a flyer or hit share: you were part of this too.

Pay it forward

Paul's wait is over. Theirs isn't.

100,000⁺

people in the United States are on the national transplant waiting list right now. Paul's story got its happy ending. You can help write the next one.
