Our new home is an amazing place in every way. We love it a lot, and after only a few days it feels very comfortable and almost like home. The only things missing are our family, friends, dogs and cats, but you are all in our thoughts daily.
The Gift of Life Transplant House is a gorgeous and very charming Georgian colonial with mahogany, walnut, oak, and white maple woods throughout. It has two beautiful fireplaces, a solarium, library, workout room and multiple day rooms. Built in 1911 for the family of Dr. E. Starr Judd, who was the first surgical partner of the Mayo brothers, it is owned and operated by the non-profit organization Gift of Life, Inc. Gift of Life was started by Edward Pompeian, a kidney transplant patient himself who understood first-hand the needs of tranplant patients and their families. What a man! We are so incredibly lucky to be here, as the number of rooms is very limited. For any of you who would like to know more about this amazing organization, visit www.gift-of-life.org.
