There are a number of Non- Governmental Organizations (NGO's) that provide financial assistance for liver transplant patients. For example, Leo’s Lifeline is an NGO operating in India with several patient support programs and resources related to Liver Transplantation. They provide financial assistance in the form of grants up to Rs. 7,00,000 per case for treatment and post hospitalization expenses for both children and adults. Additionally, Project Hope provides aid to individuals suffering from chronic liver failure or end stage liver disease who require a life-saving organ transplant but cannot afford the cost associated with it. This organization has awarded over $50 million worth of medical assistance since its inception in 1975 and continues to offer financial help towards those affected by liver ailments today. The Transplant Financial Assistance Program is another resource that offers help through grant applications along with referrals towards additional services such as travel/lodging costs related to the procedure as well as long-term care after receiving the new organ(s). Finally, LiveOn NY offers generous funding options depending on individual cases which include housing allowances and emotional counseling sessions throughout the process - establishing them as one of many viable options for those seeking immediate relief amidst mounting bills due to liver transplant surgeries.
