Project Hope is a nonprofit organization founded and operated by a team of young adult transplant patients. Through their own lived experiences with transplantation and in collaboration with leading organizations, including the Society of Pediatric Liver Transplantation (SPLIT), and the STARZL network Transplant Advocate Partners (TAP), they have identified the lack of peer support as a critical gap in current standards. 

Project Hope aims to fill this gap through the construction and administration of a transplant center-specific peer support group. During these sessions, patients will have the opportunity to engage with the chapter’s leadership team (older transplant patients + a trusted advisor), who will have access to various (Currently ~8) educational modules covering topics from “ what is transplant” to “telling your transplant story. Supported at the national level, individual chapters will have the discretion and latitude to customize the program to align with center practices and the needs of their patient populations. Project Hope aims to promote mental wellness, empower youth, and improve the quality of life for pediatric transplant patients.

It is common to experience isolation around your transplant journey. That's why Project Hope is working alongside medical professionals to bring peer support and tailor-made educational content to help children understand life after transplant. All of these materials are created by people who have undergone these experiences and are living out life after transplant. We see a future and wish no child has to go through their transplant journey alone. Instead doing it alongside the larger transplant community and peers who understand.
