It’s Liver Awareness Month!

October is a time to recognize the individuals and families navigating liver disease and transplantation, and to remind our community that support matters every step of the journey.

At Georgia Transplant Foundation, we’re here to help Georgia’s transplant community navigate the challenges that can come before and after transplant. 💙

A promise worth celebrating. ✨

Last night, we gathered at the incredible Lou Sobh Honda’s Car Museum for the launch of The Promise Society — a new community of dedicated supporters committed to strengthening the future of Georgia’s transplant community. 💙

It was a beautiful evening filled with connection, generosity, and hope for what’s ahead.

We’re so excited to officially introduce The Promise Society and grateful to everyone who helped make this special night possible.

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) — a time to recognize the value and talent of people with disabilities and highlight the importance of inclusive employment opportunities.

For transplant recipients, returning to work or starting a new career can come with unique challenges. GTF’s JumpStart Program provides career-focused support to help transplant recipients navigate the path back to employment and take the next step toward their goals.

A transplant can change your path, but it doesn't have to define your future. 💙

Some connections are worth celebrating. 💙

At our recent Savannah TNT conference, one of our transplant patients had the opportunity to meet their GTF Mentor in person for the very first time. 🫶

What started as a connection through GTF’s Mentor Project became a special moment of encouragement, understanding, and shared experience.

The transplant journey can feel overwhelming, but no one should have to navigate it alone. Through the Mentor Project, GTF connects transplant patients and caregivers with someone who has walked a similar path and can offer support, understanding, and a listening ear along the way.

We absolutely loved witnessing this moment! 💙
