Our Team
Amy’s House is owned and operated by Amy’s House Foundation which is an independent non-profit. Amy’s House was founded by Transplant Recipients International Organization (TRIO) Central Texas Chapter, which exists to help transplant patients and their families, support donor families, and promote donor awareness. Even though the two organizations are now separate, their goals are identical, and TRIO serves as an advocate for Amy’s House.
