Playathon Fundraiser

  • This past Saturday, Alana's Achievers hosted a Hasbro Games Playathon which raised $430 for the Kourtney Najjar Transplant Fund. Thanks to all who helped out!

  • Kourtney is 7 years old and awaiting a multi-organ transplant. The cost of an intestinal/pancreas transplant can exceed $1,000,000 and that is only the beginning. Even with health coverage, Kourtney's family faces significant medical expenses related to her transplant. For the rest of her life, she will need follow-up care and daily anti-rejection medications. The cost of post transplant medication can range from $2,000 to $5,000 per month -- and they are as critical to her survival as the transplant itself.
