Supporting Lung Transplant Patients at UKY

10/17/2025

One way we support lung transplant research and patients is by donating regularly to the University of Kentucky (UKY) hospital lung transplant program.

This year, in January, we donated $1000 dollars to the UKY lung transplant program to support lung transplant research and patients. 

How was the donation used?
Our donation was used in multiple ways to:
  • Cover the cost of post discharge medications for patients to bridge the gap until prescription insurance became active.
  • Cover the cost of transportation for patients to critical appointments.
  • Cover costs of  lodging for care givers to stay close to their loved ones while they were inpatient. 


This would not have been possible without our donors and community support. Thank you for donating directly or purchasing Lung Girl comics, art commissions, and/or other merchandise to help us raise funds to support these lung transplant patients!
​
Your support is helping lung transplant patients breathe a little easier.

Lung Transplant Patient Care Package Program Re-Launch

We have great news!

We relaunched out “care package” program for lung transplant patients in April 2022!

Unfortunately, we had to pause this program in 2021 due to lack of funding, but it's back!
This means if you emailed us requesting a care package, we are sending one out to you.
We are ordering supplies and putting together new care packages as we speak.
But...
We can't do this without your help.

There are about 2,000 lung transplants done in the U.S. every year. This number has increased due to COVID-19. Our ultimate goal is to make sure every lung transplant patient receives a care package with all the essentials they need to live a healthy life after their transplant.

Please donate to our Lung Transplant Patient Support Program so we can get these care packages to as many lung transplant patients as possible.
​
Please help us change the statistics and increase the survival rate of lung transplant recipients by donating to our Lung Transplant Patient Support Program today.
