Welcome to Second Chance at Life Benefiting Organ
Donation Patients in Michigan!
Second Chance at Life was
founded in 2008 by Shelly Morell, and her mother, lung recipient Carol Mancini, Second Chance at Life is determined
to provide financial assistance to transplant patients who are waiting for, receiving, or recovering from a transplant.
We aim to fill a need for these services in Michigan, and are supported by a board that includes dedicated individuals working
together to improve the quality of life for transplant patients. Second Chance at Life is a 501(c)(3) organization funded
by corporations and individuals. All funds go to support Michigan residents who are transplant candidates, recipients,
or living donors.
Second Chance at Life's Mission Statement
Second Chance at Life provides
financial support to transplant patients in Michigan who cannot otherwise afford prescriptions, medical bills, and other necessities
during and/or after a transplant. Second Chance at Life also works to increase awareness of the need for individuals
to register as organ donors and supports research to improve treatment and care for transplant patients.
