Transplant Assistance Fund

HelpHOPELive provides funds for paying uninsured expenses. As a national nonprofit, our mission is to support community-based fundraising for people with unmet medical and related expenses due to cell and organ transplants or catastrophic injuries and illnesses. Your gift to HelpHOPELive helps us provide assistance to people who need it most in a meaningful and tangible way.

Once the application has been submitted and funds have been raised, a HelpHOPELive Fund Request Form may be completed by the patient (or other authorized individual) for payment or reimbursement of approved medical expenses. Appropriate documentation must accompany all requests.



Donations collected in honor of a patient are available throughout the patient’s life.
