About Aftercare

Network for Hope’s Family Aftercare program provides support and guidance to donor families and recipients. The death of a loved one is a difficult experience, and grief may cause a variety of feelings that seem overwhelming. Network for Hope is dedicated to donor families and honors the gift of donation through the Aftercare program. Aftercare is a continuation of grief support and resources offered to donor families at the time of donation.

The Aftercare program offers supportive resources and communication with Network for Hope’s compassionate Aftercare team. Their consideration for each family ensures that no one should grieve alone. The Aftercare team is committed to walking besides those who grieve and is available to donor families indefinitely.

If you would like to learn more about the Aftercare program, have questions about corresponding with recipients, wish to volunteer or connect directly with other donor families who have gone through a similar loss, our staff is honored to help. Please contact us: aftercare@networkforhope.org.
