Normally mail from the IRS would have me shaking in my boots. However when it is a little dream coming true and you are going to be able to change lives because of it - you might cry... Dance... Laugh... And chant BGVT!!!!!! We are officially a 501(c)3!!!!!! Eeeeeekkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Be the Good. Do Life.

Update: 10/22/2016 - BGVT BARN BASH
This was our first Fundraiser for BGVT - and for Brodie's NEW LIVER BIRTHDAY!!!! We are officially on year post transplant.
YOU GUYS. WE RAISED OVER $2,000
So many of your turned out for this - THANK YOU.
I cannot WAIT to tell you about our first family. They are amazing.
If you weren't there and WANT TO DONATE: http://bit.ly/2eB0dXD - this will take you to our website to do so or check out or website www.bgvt.org for more information on us.
Be the Good. Do Life.
WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?
When you hear the words - "need a transplant to survive" the world as you know it starts to crumble, your life as you have lived it changes overnight, your immediate priority - SURVIVAL.
The race against the clock begins - endless doctors visits, blood work, follow-up conversations, pharmacy runs, educating yourself and family and - oh wait those are just your NEW responsibilities, in addition to that - you still have to find time to work, maintain your life - get dinner on the table, pay bills, work, care for your children, care for your significant other, care for your home, go grocery shopping, pick up dry cleaning, get your kids to activities, return library books, oh and somewhere in there - find time for you.
There is no way someone going through transplant (pre or post) can do it ALL by themselves.
That is why we exist.
We want to find a way to lessen the burden on any pediatric or adult transplant family.
We want to help in a little or big way.
Through random acts of kindness or larger monetary donations we want families to feel empowered and loved.
