A Message From Team Stephanie

Our team was brought together by our daughter Stephanie. She was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis as a baby and became very ill in 2013, in October she received a double lung transplant which saved her life. In November of 2015, she came down with the flu and again became very ill and was listed again for a second double lung transplant which she received in May of 2016, again saving her life. Stephanie contracted a lung fungus and lost her fight to Cystic Fibrosis in March 2017. She was listed as an organ donor and was able to donate her eyes to give the gift of sight giving back to the organization that helped to save her life.

About the LOPA Foundation: With a core purpose of Working for Hope, Working in Honor and Working to Heal, the LOPA Foundation solicits and receives donations to support LOPA’s efforts to educate and celebrate the everlasting gift of organ and tissue donation.  Gifts made to the LOPA Foundation help increase LOPA’s capacity and honor the thousands of Louisianians impacted by donation each year. The LOPA Foundation has been designated as a 501(c)3 charitable and tax-exempt organization by the Internal Revenue Service and is treated by the IRS as a supporting foundation to LOPA.

About LOPA: Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency (LOPA) was established on April 1, 1988 as an independent, not-for-profit organ and tissue recovery agency. LOPA is federally designated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid as the organ procurement organization (OPO) responsible for servicing the state of Louisiana. LOPA is tasked with two main objectives; housing and maintaining the Louisiana Donor Registry, and recovering organs and tissue for transplant. LOPA partners with professionals throughout the state, including eye banks and all hospitals within Louisiana, to accomplish its life saving and enhancing goals. Education is key to this process, and our staff offers a variety of educational opportunities for the public and professionals within our state.
