A Message From Amy Maggio

As a liver transplant recipient, every day that I get to enjoy life is a blessing, and every year that goes by is a complete miracle. Five years ago, my life changed forever when I became an organ recipient. Because of my donor’s selfless act, I have been given the honor of competing at the 2024 Transplant Games of America this coming July in Birmingham, AL. I will be participating in tennis and running events. For my birthday this year, I would like to ask for your support to help send myself and several other organ recipients, representing Team Louisiana – Transplant Games of America, to Birmingham for this special competition. Donations with be used to help defray the cost of our hotel rooms and other expenses incurred for us to participate in these games. No amount is too big nor too small, and any amount will be appreciated. Thank you for supporting organ donation!
