Transplant Recipients

Life on the waiting list can be incredibly challenging. Our team is committed to supporting patients waiting, transplant patients, and their families.

We provide opportunities to keep recipients and their families actively engaged in the transplant community, ensuring they feel supported and connected throughout their journey.

From offering a place to stay before the transplant to connecting recipients with donor families, we are committed to providing comprehensive support. For additional information, contact a member of our team at 314-735-3666 or donorfamily@midamericatransplant.org.

If you’re seeking a meaningful way to express your gratitude for donation, volunteering with Mid-America Transplant offers a rewarding opportunity to give back.

Attend an Event

From the Celebrate Life 5K to registration drives, our events provide a welcoming space to connect with others who have shared similar experiences with donation and transplantation.

Join MT United

MT United is an active team of donor families, living donors, transplant recipients, and individuals awaiting transplant. Brought together by these experiences, they find hope and joy in their work to create community, build awareness, and support those affected by donation and transplantation.

Participate. Connect. Encourage.

Every two years, they join teams from around the world at the Transplant Games to compete, celebrate life, and promote organ, eye, and tissue donation. Competition events are open to living donors and recipients. Throughout the year, they host events for participants to share their stories, honor donors, support donor families, and connect with others affected by donation and transplantation. Members regularly attend events and registration drives to share their stories and encourage others to register for donation.

MT United is a 501(c)(3) organization. To learn about upcoming events, follow them on Facebook at Mid-America Transplant United.

Communicate with Donor Families

Many recipients feel compelled to contact donor families to express their gratitude for the gift of organ and tissue donation. A heartfelt thank you can offer significant closure not only for your own family but also for the family coping with the profound loss of a loved one. Our team is here to facilitate communication between transplant recipients and donor families.
