ROOTED IN HOPE, GROWING TOGETHER: HELP EXPAND OUR SHUTTLE PROGRAM
ROOTED IN HOPE, GROWING TOGETHER is our year-long anniversary campaign honoring the people, stories, and partnerships that make this work possible.
Your support will help us add a new shuttle to our fleet – ensuring transplant families can access critical care, safely and reliably, when they need it most.
Growing Together:
Help Expand Our Shuttle Program
Transplant care often means leaving home for weeks or months – navigating early-morning appointments, unfamiliar hospitals, and the daily stress of getting to and from lifesaving care.
Our free shuttle program removes that burden, providing reliable transportation to six area transplant centers.
As demand for the House grows, so does reliance on the shuttle. When our primary vehicle is unavailable, families face limited, costly alternatives that strain a service they depend on every day.
Give today and double your impact. Thanks to a generous grant from the Foxwynd Foundation, every dollar you give this spring will be matched – dollar for dollar, up to $60,000.
Your tax-deductible gift will help us reach our $120,000 goal to add a new, custom shuttle – ensuring transplant families have safe, reliable access to lifesaving care.
BEHIND EVERY RIDE IS A VOLUNTEER WHO MAKES THIS SERVICE POSSIBLE.
Bob Baur has been driving guests to and from appointments for more than eight years. Volunteering in memory of his daughter Kellie who became an organ donor in 2014, Bob has become a familiar and comforting presence for hundreds of families.
When you're sitting just a few feet from each other in the shuttle, a SENSE OF COMMUNITY FORMS,” Bob shares. “Being able to ride together and talk takes some of the weight off their shoulders. The shuttle gives families comfort and confidence that they’ll get where they need to go safely.”
Guests at the House agree.
“THE SHUTTLE SERVICE BROUGHT OUR FAMILY IMMENSE COMFORT AND SECURITY,” Joanne Hopkins, a past guest says. “Knowing we had safe, reliable transportation each day greatly reduced our anxiety during such a difficult time.”
For families like the Hopkins, the shuttle does more than provide a ride – it reduces stress and allows them to focus on what matters most: their loved one’s health.
HELP US CELEBRATE 15 YEARS OF CARE by ensuring reliable transportation for the families who need it most. Your gift will be doubled as we work toward our $120,000 goal to strengthen the shuttle program and carry this vital service into the future.
“THE SHUTTLE ALLOWED US TO REST AFTER LONG HOSPITAL DAYS AND FOCUS ON OUR SON'S CARE... We are deeply grateful for this service and the support of the House.”
