ONE year. One mission.
One family at a time.
It all starts with you.
2012 Summer Fundraising Campaign
Happy 1st Birthday Gift of Life Family House! Help us celebrate by supporting transplant families this summer.
In Gift of Life Family House’s first year of operation, members
of the community have come together to help us fulfill
our mission to support transplant families. As of June 2012,
the Family House has provided over 2,000 nights of care to
transplant patients and their families. Through our volunteer
training programs, 105 guest services volunteers have been trained,
accumulating over 5,500 hours of service, dedicating themselves
to making transplant families feel at home. Community members
have also aided in the success of providing a “home away from
home” to our families by participating in our Home Cook Heroes
program, which has provided over 7,500 meals to our guests!
To celebrate the one-year birthday of our opening, and to ensure we
can continue to provide comfort to families, we have launched our
2012 summer fundraising campaign: ONE YEAR, ONE MISSION,
ONE FAMILY AT A TIME – and it all starts with YOU to support
our Adopt-A-Family Program.

A Day of Dedication
On Sunday, May 6, 2012, close to 400 members of Gift of Life’s community

ONE YEAR, continued from Family House page 1
The transplant process usually requires weeks or months of treatment
and long-term access to physicians and hospitals for follow-up care.
Many families cannot afford even the minimum payment of
$40.00 per night. The Family House is committed to providing
a “home away from home” for all eligible families regardless of their
ability to pay. This requires a collaborative and community-focused
approach to funding. The Adopt-A-Family Program provides
support for those families who are unable to pay the nightly fee –
especially for an extended period of time. In addition, funds raised
through the Adopt-A-Family Program are used to offset the difference
between the actual operating costs ($150) and the amount families
are asked to pay ($40) for a night’s lodging and services.
the warmth and comforts of home to transplant patients and their
families receiving treatment in the Philadelphia region.
Please help make our birthday wish come true: our
wish that we can support each family who needs
the Family House, regardless of their ability to pay.
Through your continued generosity, we will be able to help support
transplant families – one night at a time. Each $40 contribution
helps support one night of lodging for a family staying at the
Family House.

Without the outpouring of support from our families, friends, and
volunteers, the Family House would not have been able to provide

Family Circle
and support
Transplant Families
We invite you to partner with us in supporting the families of
transplant patients who call the Family House their “home away
from home”. The Family Circle is an annual giving program
composed of generous contributors who donate $250 or more
annually to support Gift of Life Family House.
Following an exciting Family House construction time lapse video
presentation, the beautiful Primary Contributors Wall was unveiled for
everyone to see.
Gift of Life Family House is grateful to its Founders’ Circle members,
Family Circle members, and volunteers for their support, and extends
a very special thank you to all of the donor families and living donors
who have given the gift of life – without them, transplantation could not
be possible.
Financial contributions to the Family House annual fund ensures
the circle of care is complete for transplant families by easing the
financial stresses through complimentary services and creating a
nurturing environment of care and support.
Among other benefits, Family Circle members will have their name
displayed on the Gift of Life Family House Primary Contributors
Wall located in the lobby of the Family House for one year and
an invitation to a special yearly President’s Reception.
Your gift can underwrite several weeks’ accommodations or sustain
the Family House in many meaningful ways...become a Family
Circle Member today!

Temple Fraternity Contributes Major Gift to the Family House In Memoriam
On Wednesday, April 25, Gift of Life Family House and Temple
University came together to celebrate the legacy of two young
Temple alumni who gave the gift of life during the past year.
Temple University Fox School of Business professional organization
Gamma Iota Sigma raised money for Gift of Life Family House
by holding numerous events throughout campus, ranging from
a date auction to bake sales. The $25,000 raised will be used
to underwrite a guest room at Gift of Life Family House in
memory of Eric Smith and Kevin Kless. The Kless and Smith
families were on hand for the check presentation, along with
representatives from Gift of Life Family House and members of
Gamma Iota Sigma.
Families of Eric Smith and Kevin Kless pose with members of Temple’s Gamma Iota Sigma
as they present a check to Gift of Life Family House to help underwrite a guest room in
memory of the two alumni.
COOKING
FOR A CAUSE
The Home Cook Heroes program at Gift of Life Family House is one of the
best ways for members of the community to get a firsthand look into the
everyday happenings at the House. Volunteer groups, who many times
have a direct connection to organ transplantation, can meet the families
that their time, hard work, and contributions directly benefit, and it
has proven to be a worthwhile and heartwarming experience for both
volunteers and the families staying with us.

Heroes groups that regularly prepares meals for our
families is Team Spiers. Not only do they provide a
delicious meal almost every month, but they usually
choose a theme for the evening and bring decorations
to liven up the kitchen and dining room! Their themes have ranged
from Backyard Summer BBQ to Mardi Gras night – and their spirit
and excitement about the mission always makes for a great night
of fun!
Team Spiers includes the family and friends of Kevin Spiers, a young
man who died suddenly at the age of 22. According to his family,
Kevin was an “outstanding young man who loved his family, friends,
and life itself. His vibrant personality was infectious. Kevin had
many special qualities; one of those qualities was his willingness to
help others, whether it was a family member, friend, or someone
he just met.” When Kevin passed away, he left behind the ultimate
gift – the gift of life – when his organs and tissue were donated.
To keep Kevin’s memory alive and to reflect on the importance
of organ and tissue donation, ‘Team Spiers’ chose to become
Home Cook Heroes at the Family House. They are able to speak
face-to-face with families of transplant recipients and caregivers
of people awaiting their life-saving transplant, which, according to
them, has been a “gratifying and rewarding” experience.

are abundant through farmers markets. Getting exercise also seems
easier, since warmer weather allows for more outdoor activities like
walking or playing games.
A special recipe to help transplant caregivers
stay healthy this summer.
However, with summer months also come BBQs and parties, where
healthy foods are not always available. When attending a party you
can certainly eat the food you love, but stick with smaller portions to
avoid overeating and excess. Below is a great healthy and fun summer
recipe you can try. Bring it to your next gathering – that way you know
you’ll have something healthy to snack on while you’re out!
Summer is great for spending time with friends and family and enjoying
outdoor activities. For some, it may feel like maintaining a healthy lifestyle
during summer months is less difficult, since fresh vegetables and fruits
