| The Second Chance
Support Group is an independent organization formed
to assist those awaiting liver, kidney or pancreas transplant and those that have
received a liver, kidney or pancreas transplant at the Mayo Clinic in
Jacksonville, FL. The group is not affiliated with the
Mayo Clinic in any way. The mission of the group is to
offer support to patients, caregivers, family and
friends going through the period of time leading up to
the transplant and to provide ongoing support after the
transplant is over. The group sponsors frequent
activities listed under the Events section.
The time
awaiting transplant can be fraught with many
questions, issues and concerns. The goal of this group
is to share common concerns and experiences with each
other and see how others may have dealt with the same or
similar issues and concerns.
The "lending closet"
is sponsored by The Second Chance Support group and
contains a wide variety of household items you may need
to establish a home base while in Jacksonville. All
items in the closet are free for you to use as you see
fit. To look at the lending closet inventory or to
donate items to the lending closet please contact Marge
Hahn at
