A big thank you to Christina for preparing Wednesday night’s dinner: baked ziti, Texas toast garlic bread, salad, and chocolate-dipped Oreos for dessert!

These Wednesday dinners are a meaningful part of life at Transplant House. They give transplant patients and caregivers an opportunity to step away from the stress of appointments and share a meal with others who understand what they’re going through. Around the dinner table, guests can reflect on shared experiences, offer advice and encouragement, and build friendships that last long after they return home.

We are always impressed by our dinner volunteers, who prepare meals for around 30 transplant patients and caregivers each week. Guests can gather in our community space or pack up dinner to enjoy later. After a long day at the hospital, returning to the House with a home-cooked meal waiting can make a world of difference.

Thank you Christina for showing up for our guests and helping Transplant House feel like home. Your generosity provides more than a nourishing meal–it creates moments of comfort, community, and friendship.

🌷 Autumn in the Garden is almost here! 🌷

💐 With our tent assembled, tables, chairs, and decorations laid out, our Cozad-Bates lawn is undergoing a full transformation just in time for our Autumn in the Garden party! We are excited to start welcoming guests in just a few hours.

Tickets are still available– with walk-ins welcome! 🔗 https://bit.ly/THOCTICKETS

The event officially starts at 5 p.m. The first hour leaves time for you to mingle, create a floral bouquet, participate in the w**e pull and raffle, and enjoy hors d'oeuvres and beverages.

Event programming will begin at 6 p.m. The evening will feature an interview with Kay Kendall, our honoree, Board of Trustees member, and retired social worker of 37 years, along with our w**e pull and fund-a-need.

🍷 And there's even more to look forward to! Two rare w**es have joined the Opus One Napa Valley Red in our Premium w**e raffle: the Grgich Hills Estate Cabernet Sauvignon and the Phifer Pavitt Cabernet Sauvignon. We are incredibly grateful for this generous donation!

We can’t wait to share this special evening with you!

We have two more meal volunteer opportunities remaining this year: November 4 and December 30!

If you’re interested in providing a meal for our guests, please visit https://bit.ly/THOCDinners to sign up.

We could not continue this invaluable weekly tradition without the help of our generous volunteers. Beyond providing a delicious meal, these evenings give transplant patients and caregivers a chance to unwind, share their experiences, and connect with others who understand what they’re going through.

The memories made and friendships formed during these dinners often stay with our guests long after they leave Transplant House. While navigating an uncertain future, these bonds can provide comfort, encouragement, and a sense of community where it’s needed most.

Thank you for helping us continue this meaningful tradition!

📣TODAY: Caregivers, please join us in-person in our duplex or via Zoom today at 4PM EST for Navigating the Caregiver Journey. This is an opportunity to connect with other caregivers on the transplant journey that is offered Monday of each
week.

Wherever you are on your caregiver journey, whether your patient is preparing for, undergoing, or recovering from a transplant – it’s likely to feel like uncharted territory. There is a supportive community that understands the challenges you may face. All organ transplant caregivers are welcome to join, whether you have stayed at Transplant House or not.

As our Autumn in the Garden party is less than one week away, we’d like to thank two of our Cosmos-level sponsors: Brian Durdle and Blake Springhetti!

Sponsors like them help make Autumn in the Garden possible while also contributing to the work we do every day at Transplant House. Their giving allows us to keep nightly room rates low, helps cover programming costs, and provides additional amenities at no cost to our guests.

This year alone, the 266 families who have stayed with us have saved an estimated $1,121,540 compared to traditional lodging costs. These savings can alleviate financial worries for families already navigating the many challenges that come with the transplant journey, allowing them to focus on what matters most.

Thank you, Brian and Blake, for your support and for helping shape the future of our organization.

Meet our newest social worker, Sara Kiska!

Sara holds an MSW and LSW and is currently pursuing her LISW. Her professional experience in medical social work includes transplant, renal, and hospice care, with a focus on behavioral and mental health. Her social work experience, along with her warm and compassionate demeanor, will be invaluable to our guests.

Outside of work, Sara enjoys spending time with her family, friends, and fur babies. She values a good sense of humor and prides herself on helping others genuinely smile and experience a good laugh.

She is excited to join Transplant House of Cleveland, where she can continue her passion for enhancing the lives of patients, caregivers, and the transplant community as a whole. We’re so happy to have her as part of the ThoC team!

A Toast to Autumn in the Garden! 🍷

Our Garden Party w**e pull is shaping up to be a wonderful addition to the evening, with 12 carefully selected bottles ranging from $25 to $100 in value, offering something for every w**e lover.

🥂 But one bottle is truly worth raising a glass to: The 2018 Opus One Napa Valley Red!

Valued at $450–$600, this exceptional bottle will be raffled separately from the general w**e pull at the end of the evening, giving guests another opportunity to take home something special.

You must be present to win. So, if you haven’t already, get your tickets and join us on our front lawn for a special evening of food, live music, flowers, and fellowship at Transplant House of Cleveland!

As our Autumn in the Garden party is two weeks away, we’d like to thank one of our Zinnia-level sponsors: Art Thomson and Jes Sellers!

Sponsors like them help make Autumn in the Garden possible while also contributing to the work we do every day at Transplant House. Their generosity helps us provide affordable housing, supportive programming, and a comfortable, home-like environment for transplant patients and their families traveling from out of town. For our guests, having a welcoming place to return to after long days at the hospital and the opportunity to connect with others in similar circumstances makes all the difference.

Thank you, Art and Jes, for your ongoing support of our organization and for helping create a home away from home for the transplant patients and caregivers we serve.
