Mission Statement

Our Mission
The mission of the Second Chance for Life Foundation (SCFLF) is to help individuals and their caregivers navigate the challenges that come with receiving a heart transplant or a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) at the University of Minnesota medical facilities.  We strive to support patients through some of life’s most difficult times—mentally, physically, emotionally, and financially.
Share and Care
We support patients through difficult times – mentally, physically, emotionally, and financially.
Members
Second Chance for Life Foundation is led by a group of heart transplant patients, LVAD patients and caregivers who recognize the need for support.  We understand the difficulties before and after transplant and want to help! We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit all volunteer organization managed by patients for patients. 

The Second Chance for Life Foundation membership community includes:
  • Heart Transplant or LVAD recipients of all ages
  • Those in advanced heart failure waiting for a heart transplant or LVAD
  • Caregivers and family members of those with or waiting for a heart transplant or LVAD
  • Friends of heart transplant or LVAD device patients
  • Donor families
A Transplant Home
We assist in providing emergency temporary housing and transportation for heart transplant or LVAD patients in need who are affiliated with the University of Minnesota Medical Center or University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital.
Education
We listen and help others talk about transplantation and organ donation.  We sponsor an annual educational workshop for those with heart transplants, LVADs and those waiting.  We also educate caregivers. Doctors, nurses, psychologists, social workers and transplant coordinators are involved to further inform and educate our transplant patients and families.
