We’ve had the pleasure of getting to know truly amazing families since we opened our doors in 2014. Below are some of their stories of their transplant journey, the emotions they experienced and reflections on their time at Transplant House.
Meet Lizz and Jerry from California
Lizz and Jerry spent months at Transplant House waiting for “the call” and in the meantime made lifelong friendships.
“Transplant House of Cleveland gave us a sense of community. When you’re living in a city you don’t know, in order to receive medical care, getting to talk with other caregivers and patients who have gone before you is invaluable.” —Jerry, organ recipient
Meet Kati from Illinois
A young woman with cycstic fibrosis breathes easily now, thanks to a double-lung transplant.
“If I were going through it again, I would evaluate a transplant program based upon housing. We know how important it is. A hotel is not sufficient.” —Kati, organ recipient
