About The Lung Transplant Support Organization
The Lung Transplant Support Organization (LTSO) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Founded in 2008, the Lung Transplant Support Organization (LTSO) facilitates support for patients and their families, including supplying the transplant patients with laptops to communicate with their families during recovery, helps to mitigate the costs for transplant recipients, and also provides assistance in temporary housing, food, and travel costs. Each year more than 1,400 lung transplants are performed, but many more are needed. Lung transplantation is often the only treatment option for patients with severe cystic fibrosis (CF), with end-stage lung disease, and other chronic lung diseases.
Your help will enable the Lung Transplant Support Organization (LTSO) to continue to help with the types of activities above and to work towards the long term goal of providing housing near the hospital for transplant recipients and their caretakers as transplant patients have frequent clinic follow ups to ensure they are recovering well.
