[missanne]

I'm in Dayton, OH. Could host or help in any way I can.

[open24hours]

I'm also in the CA Bay Area. We have Packard Children's Hospital (Stanford) and UCSF.

[LauraMoser]

Closest one to me that does transplants, and a pretty big name around here.

I am also about an hour away from Johns Hopkins, another big name around here:

Squirrely, my heart aches for you. I don't have the space to offer lodging in the case that you'd come to my area (and you'd probably want to be a little closer than about an hour away anyway) but I'd gladly help in any other way. I know Hershey has the Ronald Mcdonald House and I have a family member who could get me in touch with the appropriate people there.

[snickers]

Wish I could help but I am from Canada. This is so very nice of each and everyone of you. What an awesome group of ladies

[notoriousmeg]

This post has drawn me out of lurkdom. You ladies are incredible. I'm in NJ right across the river from NYC(literally 1mile from the Lincoln Tunnel). Happy to help in any way I can. Lots of great hospitals in our area.

[casarosada]

I'm a lurker, occasional poster in the Twin Cities and could help/host if you come out this way.

[WOT?*]

Even if I'm persona non-grata, if there's nobody in Seattle but you can get him approved here I'd be willing to host or do what I can. They also have a great Ronald McDonald house near the hospital. I can put my foot-in-mouth word-vomit time to good use. Seattle Children's is an amazing hospital with a lot of great specialist teams including cardiac care.

Mostly a lurker, but I wanted to give information on a hospital in my state. I'm an hour from this hospital, but would be willing to donate money, food, time.

I'm in RTP, not far from Duke. We would absolutely do this if it could help Forrest

eta: ccbloom is right, the medical center is one of the best all around, and they have a great transplant center as well

Duke doctors diagnosed me as a kid when no other medical teams took my problems seriously

[starfish]

Mainly a lurker, but 10 mins away from Atlanta. Could host, or help out in anyway I could. I don't know if he is to old, but www.choa.org/Childrens-Hospital-Services/Transplant/Heart-Transplant

I love the people at Choa, they always go up and beyond what the have to do.

[winecat]

Denver has an active local board. I have a tiny house but could help in a pinch. My other skill set might not be helpful with T1D.

[BicycleBride]

I'm a lurker near Louisville KY. We have Kosair Children's but here is the transplant link to Jewish Hospital www.jhsmh.org/Health-Services/Organ-Transplantation/Heart.aspx

[janegold]

My friend who had a heart transplant (and two separate double lung transplants) had them done at Duke.

I'm in Boston and my door is wide open.

[Gato]

If Squirrely needs something from CHOP, I'd be happy to help if I can.

Primary Children's is a kick ass hospital. I can't host but I'd be happy to help any other way I can.

[bugandbibs]

I'm in. I can't host, but I can help with anything you need between Portland and Seattle.

[tdk2]

I'm about 20 min from Detroit's children's Hosp if that ever helps.

While you're overwhelmed at the moment, maybe you or someone on a comp (I'm on phone) could bookmark this thread for you so you can tell who's where as things progress later.

I know Angela mentioned being from San Diego and UCSD, but I wanted to say I'm in as as well and the Bf is an alum of UCSD....anything we can do, we will!

[Yankees21]

I'm in Omaha, and we have a good Children's Hospital that does transplants. I have room in my house, and will help in any other way you need.
