Have you every wondered what it would be like to need a new heart? Not only need a heart, but also not having the support system mandated to even be put on the list of potential heart transplant recipients?
Tim P. was a 48 year old cardiac patient in that very situation. He suffered from a congenital heart defect that had already taken the lives of his family members. Tim didn’t have the support required to get his name on the heart transplant list: transportation to doctor appointments, meal service, medication supervision and general care after the operation.
Bridgepointe was able to rally volunteers to become Tim’s support team. This new team would ensure that Tim could take care of himself in preparation for an available heart.
It is this generosity of time and talents that makes Bridgepointe special. We do not focus on a specific age of our recipients – or even specify the challenge they must be facing. We believe that we can help any person who is having a difficult time – help make life better in some way.
