Find Mentorship, Community & Shared Experiences
Peer Support,Whenever You Need it
Transplantation affects so much more than your health. It can change your daily routines, relationships, and plans for the future. And while family and friends may be there for you, sometimes you want to talk with someone who has experienced it themselves.
That’s where Transplant Village can help. Whether you’re waiting for a transplant, considering living donation, caring for someone, or adjusting to life afterward, there are people you can turn to.
Ways to Connect
Sometimes you just need someone who gets it. Through our partnership with Organ Transplant Support (OTS), you can speak with a mentor who has personal experience with transplantation. It's a chance to ask questions, talk about concerns, or hear how someone else handled a similar situation.
Organ Transplant Support
Sometimes the best support comes from someone who gets it. Organ Transplant Partners connects transplant recipients, living donors, caregivers, and family members with people who understand the unique challenges and experiences that come with transplantation.
Donor Champion Program
Not sure how to begin looking for a living donor? The Donor Champion Program is a free, 90-minute online workshop where you’ll learn how to talk about your need for a transplant, involve family and friends, and become more comfortable asking for help. You’ll also hear from people who have faced many of the same concerns.
UNDERSTANDING THE COST
Donor Assistance Fund
Living donors may face expenses that aren’t covered by the recipient’s insurance, including travel, lodging, and lost wages. These costs can add up and may discourage someone from moving forward with donation.
There are organizations that offer financial assistance and information about available protections. We’ve gathered several resources to help donors understand their options.
