Patient Living Assistance Fund

The Living Assistance Fund is designed to provide financial aid to organ transplant recipients to reduce their stress during the difficult medical procedures of transplantation and the healing process.  We do this by paying for basic living necessities like housing, medication and transportation to the hospital. Our Living Assistance Fund offers financial support to transplant patients for the following expenses:

  • Prescription Medication Copay
  • Transportation to Treatment Facility
  • Basic Housing Needs including rent or mortgage payment
  • Utilities like electricity and gas
