“I donated a kidney to my dad. Afterward, I received funding from The American Transplant Foundation to cover lost wages. It was so helpful during the recovery period that I wanted to give back.
I’ve joined the Save a Life Giving Club by giving a small amount of money each month … another avenue for those in the transplant community to feel a part of something bigger than ourselves.”

WHY JOIN THE
After receiving a kidney transplant a few months ago, Jaleel’s fight for his life was still far from over. He and his family had to take on another unexpected battle: fighting cancer. The family was faced with a conflict that no family should ever have to face: How do we decide between paying for Jaleel’s medications that are keeping his new kidney from being rejected, or the cancer treatments, both of which are required to save his life?
Without your donation, Jaleel’s family would have been forced to make a decision that would ultimately threaten Jaleel’s health and risk his life. We provided Jaleel with an Emergency Grant to give his family access to his medications, transportation to treatments, and basic living expenses so that Jaleel can return to normal 3-year-old life.
“The financial support from American Transplant Foundation covered costs that came with Jaleel’s post kidney transplant recovery. Jaleel’s life was saved because this resource was available to us.”
– Tanisha, Jaleel’s Mother
Your donation helped LaToya to give her mother the Gift of Life. LaToya’s mother desperately needed a liver transplant but could not find a match. LaToya was thankfully a match but had to decide between donating to her mother or being able to afford her rent. Thanks to your support, LaToya was able to donate her liver and give her mother a second chance at life.
Through our Patient Assistance Program, we were able to grant Bart $1,000 to provide him access to life-saving medications so he could finally focus on cherishing his new kidney and his second chance at life.
