The Have A Heart? Foundation: Defy Indifference - Care With Conviction!

Connecting on a personal level is an important part of sharing ideas. On this page we'll present some details about our organization and the people behind it.

Our Commitment

We are a non-profit charitable foundation committed and dedicated to assisting transplant patients. Currently, we are working directly with the University of Michigan Transplant Management Program through the direction and collaboration of Ms. Ruth Halben, the transplant coordinator/social worker. All proceeds and funds are donated directly to the University of Michigan Hospital, less operational expenses. We operate based on the IRS tax code for non-profit private foundations and organizations.
