Memo: from Kel's Desk
Hi. I'm Kel Kelley and I am a Heart Transplant Recipient.
Welcome to Triple Heart .org.
Our Name: Triple Heart , Inc.™
Our Web Site: http://www.TripleHeart.org
Our Motto: Together - for Life
Our Purpose: To provide a place on the Internet for heart
and other organ transplants and primary care givers to contact each other across
the country and around the world.
Our Mission: To provide a forum in order to support each
other in formal and informal settings on the phone, on the net and/or in person
on a regular or irregular basis to better understand the highs and lows of
the walk we share.
Our Vision: That no transplant, pre- or post-, be alone
when needing answers or understanding from someone who KNOWS what the ups and
downs are, the roller coaster ride of physical and emotional feelings that
happen to, not all, but most of us.
Our Acknowledgement: That no two transplants are identical
any more than any other group of people.
However, we do have a lot in common and can be a source of knowledge and comfort
to one another in order to improve and possibly extend our unique lives as
TRANSPLANTS.
We, my wife Joanne and I, have found that most Heart Transplant Recipients
and Primary Care Givers have almost no contact, if any, with others like ourselves
after the Heart Transplant procedure and very little contact while we are listed,
much less while we are deciding to become transplant candidates or going through
the qualification process. In this most radical situation we should have access
to information…each other.
Doctors and hospitals are prohibited under the doctor/patient confidentiality
ethic from letting us know who each other (heart transplant patients) are.
And a web site such as this does not offer FREE PRIZES and obviously doesn't
appeal to the masses…so millions of people are not hurrying to find transplant
sites or cancer sites or sites about the best beaches to be attacked by sharks.
That brings us to the HARD PART. We can only find each other through friends
who are willing to pass the word along. So…FRIENDS…please pass the word along
not just to transplants; but also to all your friends (if we only pass the
message to transplants we know, we are limited)…but if we pass the word to
just 10 friends and each one of them sends the message to just 10 friends,
etc., etc. that's how we will get our message to those who need it.
Thank you and God Bless,
~Kel Kelley |
