Thanks For A Great Week!

11/15/2019

As we sat around the dinner table this week, it dawned on us that we were sharing dinner with guests from 7 different states. This has truly become a special community of people that have come to call Restoring Hope home from all parts of Wisconsin and now 43 different states as we welcomed our first guest from Oklahoma this week.

There are so many people behind the scenes that pour their hearts and soul into this house simply because of their love for the people that pass through our doors. We are so grateful for Lions Club friends Gwen and Brad from Tomah and Wausau. What a blessing to have the Tomah Lions step up and replace one of our favorite old couches that had fallen victim to years of wear and tear as well as fresh sheets and supplies for the house and Brad for stopping down with an incredible collection of breakfast supplies. As most of you know, we serve a home cooked breakfast each and every morning to our guests. As a non-profit, this comes at a significant expense so we are so incredibly grateful for people like Brad for their generosity and compassion. People like these are the heartbeat of the house. Thank you all for such a great week!

Donation Days of Thanksgiving: Jennifer's Story

11/6/2019

Donation Days of Thanksgiving: During this festive month of giving thanks, we look back to some of the great moments and incredible friends from 2019. Our pancreas recipient friend Jennifer from Kenosha has gotten her life back after many years of diabetes related struggles. She was kind enough to share her story during her time here at the start of the year.

January featured some guests who have never been better after transplant, some people who overcame some major hurdles and some very dear friends that we lost. They all contributed in their own ways to the incredible community of healing that happens at this house. I can't help but get emotional looking back at all the photos from that chilly month. It was our busiest January ever and we definitely leaned on each other throughout during some very challenging days.

As a non-profit, these next two months of year-end giving are crucial in furthering our mission of giving hope to families in need. If Restoring Hope Transplant House has impacted the lives of your family and if following the stories of friends you have made through your journeys together has been a blessing to you, we hope that you will make a donation to RHTH today as a show of thanks giving. We appreciate you all!

RHTH Reunion Pics: Thank you all!

9/13/2019

Heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped to make our first ever Restoring Hope Transplant House Family Reunion such a wonderful day. What an honor it was to host and witness the first meeting between one of our RHTH organ recipient families and the mother of her incredible donor. Such an emotional moment between two ladies that will share a special bond for life!

How wonderful it was to see so many of our transplant families that day at nearby Capital Brewery in Middleton. To share old stories, big hugs and lots of laughs made it a truly great day. We cannot thank our friend David Stedman and the Main Street Big Band enough for their incredible performance that day. It really meant a lot to us to have a dear transplant family and Lions Club friend and his band there with us and what a talented group they are. We received so many kind words about their band.

Thanks also to Capital Brewery for being such a great host and welcoming venue just down the street. Grateful to our Lions Club friends who came out and had a great time while running the 50/50 raffle. Also appreciate those who helped volunteer and organize this event as well as our generous sponsors listed below. With this years overwhelming success, we hope to turn this into an annual gathering...thanks be to you all!
