SupportLine
LINKING PEOPLE TO SUPPORT

SupportLine is a free service designed to link patients who may be considering or actually undergoing bone marrrow/stem cell transplantation and/or their family members and caregivers with post-transplant patients and their family members and caregivers. The goal is to provide direct telephone or on-line support and encouragement during the transplant experience from the unique perspective of someone who has experienced it.

	“Going through a transplant was so difficult. It was so great to be able to talk to someone who had been there. The Bone Marrow Foundation found a mentor that I could really relate to and who had suffered from the same disease.  It was so helpful for me and for my family.”  Jill D.

We invite you to join SupportLine — either as a Mentor (a post-transplant patient and/or a family member or caregiver willing to volunteer your time to help other patients, their family members or caregivers.) or as a Seeker (someone with questions they would like to ask of another patient or family member or caregiver). The Bone Marrow Foundation provides a brief training for Mentors, which can be done over the phone with a Foundation social worker. When you sign up for SupportLine, you can tell us whether you are interested in becoming a Seeker or a Mentor. We hope that those who have been helped through Supportline will consider joining as a Mentor after their transplant experience.
