Resources for Heart Transplant Patients and Donor Families

Here you’ll find gentle guides and ideas created from my own heart transplant journey. My hope is that these resources help you feel a little more supported, a little more understood, and a little less alone—whether you’re reaching out to your donor family or honoring the gift you’ve been given.


More resources will be added over time as I keep learning and sharing my journey.





You are not alone.


Whether you are a transplant recipient or a donor family, your feelings are valid, your story matters, and you are seen.
