Giving back

Many transplant recipients have found it very rewarding to give to others in the transplant community. Not only can you help others, giving back can help you as you continue to cope with the emotional aspect of being a transplant recipient.

• Provide insights and guidance by starting a support group
• Become a mentor to those awaiting transplant—not only does this help candidates and their loved ones have a better understanding of what to expect, it can also ease their fears
