Project Title: YNOTT Impact Lives: Youth Health & Transplant Family Support
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
The YNOTT? Foundation (Youth Needing Organ & Tissue Transplants) seeks support for the YNOTT Impact Lives Initiative, expanding two critical programs serving pediatric transplant patients and at-risk youth in Ohio, Georgia, and nationwide through emergency assistance.
\nMore than 2,000 children in the United States are currently waiting for a life-saving organ transplant, and thousands more live with chronic kidney, liver, and heart conditions that may lead to organ failure. Kidney disease affects 1 in 7 U.S. adults, and rising rates of childhood obesity, hypertension, and diabetes are increasing risk factors among youth\u2014particularly in underserved communities where health disparities and lower donor registration rates persist.
\nFounded from my lived experience as a transplant recipient, YNOTT? understands that when a child faces transplant, families face more than a medical crisis\u2014they face financial instability, emotional exhaustion, and difficult choices between work, housing, and being present at their child\u2019s bedside.
\nThrough the YOHA Family Assistance Fund, we provide emergency transportation assistance, temporary lodging near transplant centers, meal support during hospital stays, and limited financial relief. These supports help stabilize families so they can focus fully on their child\u2019s recovery.
\nThrough the YNOTTYOU? Initiative, we deliver youth-centered education on organ health, early disease detection, healthy lifestyle practices, and culturally responsive donor awareness programming.
\nOver 12 months, we will assist 40\u201350 pediatric families and educate more than 500 youth. Funding will provide immediate relief while advancing long-term prevention, strengthening vulnerable children and promoting health equity.<\/p>\n
Total Project Budget: 71000<\/p>\n
Other Funding
\nSources For The Project (Committed & Potential): YNOTT? currently has multiple funding opportunities in progress, including a $10,000 request to the Hermanowski Foundation, additional family foundation applications, corporate sponsorship proposals, peer-to-peer fundraising efforts, and major donor cultivation initiatives. Estimated Pending & Prospective Funding: $56,000 With more than 15 years of sustained programming and diversified fundraising, YNOTT? is confident in securing the remaining support needed to fully fund the $71,000 project budget within the 12-month grant period.<\/p>\n
Project Duration: June 1, 2026 \u2013 July 31, 2027
\nGeographical Area Served: Primary service areas include Ohio and Georgia, with emergency assistance available nationwide through the YOHA Family Assistance Fund.
