Georgia Transplant Portal

Bruce Crandle is a client of the Georgia Transplant Foundation’s (GTF) Transplant Fundraising Program (TFP) and is fundraising for costs related to his Kidney transplant that will not be covered by his current insurance plan. Bruce Crandle has been evaluated for a transplant and is listed at Piedmont.

Through Bruce Crandle’s involvement with GTF he is eligible to receive matched funds up to $10,000 for every dollar raised, which he can use for post-transplant related costs.

Transplantation can be an overwhelming situation and patients are encouraged to plan ahead for some of the uncovered and unforeseeable costs. GTF thanks you for your support of Bruce Crandle and his endeavor to assume self-responsibility for his medical needs through fundraising.

FACT: The cost of immunosuppressive medications typically ranges from $20,600 to $32,900 per year and even with insurance, medicine co-pays can be unaffordable.

Fundraising is a matter of life and death for some transplant candidates, and a matter of quality of life for others. Your generous donation will help GTF's Transplant Fundraising Program clients' endeavors to assume self-responsibility for their medical needs by fundraising.
