Ava’s Heart is a non-profit organization that gives critically needed assistance to organ transplant patients who are unable to access or afford it. We focus on providing the doctor-mandated pre & post operative housing for patients who must travel away from their homes to receive transplant-related care.

Additionally we assist donor families with cremation and burial expenses, and promote organ donation. Because without the donor there is no life.

Ava’s House

Ava’s Heart housing initiative helps provide a home away from home for transplant patients and their caregivers, in Southern California, by providing the doctor mandated 3 months of housing post transplant near one’s transplant center.

The Ava’s Heart–It’s Just ONE campaign empowers people to join together and help transplant patients and donor families by donating just one dollar per month. Donations that we receive help to provide housing, transportation and other services that are required of patients both pre and post transplant. Ava’s Team has introduced this campaign in an attempt to make it simple and affordable for individuals to give every month and help save lives. 90 cents of every dollar given goes directly to assisting patients.
