Mission Statement

Our Mission
The mission of the Second Chance for Life Foundation is to help individuals and their caregivers navigate the challenges that come with a heart transplant or heart implant (LVAD) at University of Minnesota medical facilities. Our goal is to help provide what is needed when it is needed whether it is for emotional, financial, or educational needs. Historically, SCFLF has supported patients with financial assistance for medical care, housing and transportation. We also provide education seminars focused on heart health and living with a heart transplant or LVAD.
Share and Care
We support patients through difficult times – mentally, physically, emotionally, and financially.
Members
Second Chance for Life Foundation was founded by a group of heart transplant patients who recognized the need for support.  We understand the difficulties before and after transplant and want to help! We are a nonprofit all volunteer organization managed by patients for patients. We are:
  • Heart Transplant recipients of all ages
  • Are awaiting a heart transplant
  • Have a LVAD or other mechanical heart device
  • Are close to someone who is a heart transplant, LVAD, or mechanical device patient
  • Donor families
A Transplant Home
We assist in providing emergency temporary housing and transportation for heart failure patients in need who are affiliated with the University of Minnesota Medical Center or University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital.
Education
We help others talk about transplantation and organ donation.  We sponsor an annual educational workshop for transplant recipients and those waiting.  Doctors, nurses, and transplant coordinators are involved, to further inform and educate our transplant patients and families.
