Restoring Hope Transplant House will be a “home away from home” for patients who are in the Madison area for organ, bone marrow or other transplants. A transplant house is not a medical facility. It is a caring environment that offers high quality, affordable accommodations for patients and their adult family members/caregivers. In addition to physical housing, the House offers hospitality, compassion and hope to support the healing journey for the patient and family. The support is provided by a small core staff, many volunteers and through interaction between other families facing the same challenges.

Restoring Hope Transplant House will be designed to offer both private and community space. The facilities will foster and support independence by providing shared kitchen and laundry facilities. Each guest will have a private room but may share a number of common areas where they can interact with the other guests.

The current house has 10 bedrooms with community bathrooms, and much of the rest of the house is in disrepair. Renovation plans provide 16 bedrooms - each with their own bath, a completely remodeled kitchen, expanded community areas and a HEPA air filtration system that will service the entire House.

The House will be designed to serve adult patients and caregivers only. While we would like to be able to accommodate whole families, infection risk is a concern while patients are healing. As a precaution we will not be able to accommodate family members under age 17.

The Transplant House is currently not open to patients or their caregivers. Additional funding is still needed to cover the necessary renovations before the doors can be opened to guests.

Help us raise the necessary funds to get the remodeling phase of this project started!
