Our Mission: Transplants for Children empowers children and their families to master the lifelong challenges of pediatric organ transplantation.

Our Community: The Transplants for Children community was created to bring transplant families together with other families who have, will, or are currently going through the transplant process.

Founded in 1986 by Sharon and Eric Sutton, Transplants for Children has worked tirelessly to bring hope to families nationwide. Sharon and Eric’s infant son, Richard, received a liver transplant when organ transplantation was still in it’s infancy. In spite of the transplant and subsequent hospitalization, Richard passed away. The Suttons were inspired to honor his memory by forming an organization dedicated to assisting other families through the pediatric transplant process.
