Welcome to Fay's Friends Online, we are so glad you stopped by! Our mission is to help families who are preparing for, in the process of, or who are in post-transplant recovery by helping them to prepare for what to expect, tips and tricks for the period of time where the transplant patient is hospitalized, and the long road to recovery.

My name is Nicole M. Neufeld, and I am a proud mom to Faybree Jane, who received a double lung transplant on April 27, 2008 at only 3 and a half months old!

During Faybree's journey from diagnosis and transplant to treatment, many families have contacted me with questions. You can imagine how many questions there are! I have tackled many of those through a blog on interstitial lung disease and a personal blog on pediatric lung transplant.  However, when you're in the hospital with so many terms and orders being given, having the information in your hands (instead of just on a computer) is invaluable. The emotional state one goes through is beyond description, especially when you are away from home and in a strange city.

It might sound like a small gesture, but I have set a goal to help other families and we invite you to join Fay's Friends and plant a seed of fayth!  Donate, send an inspirational quote, or just read about our journey. We're glad you are here and we hope we can make a difference to a family going through a difficult time.

*If you know of someone regardless of their age that could use our help, that is undergoing a transplant.  Please contact us so we can try our best to put a "comfort bag" together for them.  Our mission is to enrich the lives of others.
