Transplant Unwrapped Ambassador Program
You are not alone!

Overview
Speak with a Transplant Unwrapped Ambassador who can share their experiences about living with intestinal dysfunction and intestinal failure, or what it is like going through intestinal rehabilitation or transplantation.
Learn about our Transplant Unwrapped Ambassador Program.
No one knows how to best cope with intestinal illness like someone who lives with it every day. This is why we created the Transplant Unwrapped Ambassador Program.
