Through the support of Astellas Pharma US, Inc. ( formerly Fujisawa Healthcare, Inc.), a set of eight (8) greeting cards has been developed for transplant recipients to send to their donor and/or donor families. The initial set of cards includes Thanksgiving and holiday greeting cards, a second chance transplant anniversary card and generic/non specific occasion cards.
Lee Downing, a liver transplant recipient and Founder of Organ Buddies, Inc. created the concept of the cards to help encourage transplant recipients to correspond with their donor/donor families. “Over the years, while talking with countless transplant support groups, transplant nurses and social workers, I realized that many transplant recipients do not write a letter or send a card of “thanks” to their donor families largely because they cannot find the appropriate words to write. The greeting cards will alleviate much of the discomfort and awkwardness associated with writing a letter, thus enabling recipients to share an appropriate “thinking of you/thank-you” gesture to donor families” states Downing.
The cards are available for FREE. The only cost will be shipping and postage charges.
