The GA Transplant Foundation holds a special place in my heart, and is this month's featured Non-Profit for Whiteboard Promotions. As many of you know by now, I was blessed to receive a kidney from an amazing person, Cristina Zakis my Angel on Earth in November 2010. What you don't know is that the GA Transplant Foundation paid her family's mortgage while she recovered, and helped pay for our health insurance as well.
The GA Transplant Foundation is an organization that provides financial and educational assistance to those who are undergoing or awaiting an organ transplant. The organization helps with fundraising, job training and placement, Insurance needs, financial planning, and many other functions that help reduce the stress involved with the transplant process. As some of you may know, getting a transplant is really only the beginning of the journey for a patient, every month there is an enormous cost in terms of doctor's visits, drugs, etc. Drug costs alone can run upwards of $25,000 a year, so the GA Transplant Foundation offers a unique opportunity to assist the transplant community.
