November Update

Written By Margaret Henderson

Monthly Update from Amy’s House

This month at Amy’s House, we’ve welcomed several courageous patients and families as they navigate transplant journeys, cancer treatments, and major surgeries. Each story reminds us why this home exists — to offer comfort, stability, and hope during some of life’s hardest moments.

We were grateful to host:

  • A heart transplant recipient returning for follow-up care

  • A guest recovering with an LVAD while awaiting transplant

  • A new kidney recipient attending post-transplant appointments

  • A family supporting a loved one undergoing kidney removal

  • A guest who received a kidney through a paired donation program

  • A mother staying close to her son recovering from transplant complications

  • A wife preparing to donate her kidney to her husband

Every guest brings strength, resilience, and gratitude into our halls — and your support makes their healing journeys possible. Thank you for helping us provide a safe, welcoming place for those who need it most.

Wishing you a warm and blessed Thanksgiving season.

— Phyllis, Executive Director
