Humans Helping Humans
Help Me Hope connects people on the transplant journey with other people who have been through it too.
Transplant hopefuls and recipients with strong social connection have about a 50% greater likelihood of survival.
Health-related loneliness is linked to higher distress, lower adherence, and worse mortality outcomes, making human-understanding support essential.
Peer support has been shown to reduce depressive symptoms by up to 30%, making real human connection just as important before transplant as it is after.
“Our mission is to help people hope and feel less alone while waiting for, or living with, a transplant by connecting them one-to-one with others who share their experience.”
Be met as a person, not a patient.
“Patient” language in traditional support can leave people feeling reduced to statistics, averages, and defined by their diagnosis.
Help Me Hope is support built on lived understanding, not clinical explanation.
