What We Do Transplants for Children (TFC) is the only agency of its kind and located in San Antonio, Texas. TFC empowers families to MASTER LIFELONG CHALLENGES of pediatric transplantation. TFC is dedicated to assisting young organ and bone marrow transplant recipients and their families in effectively coping with the emotional, financial, and social challenges that arise before, during, and after transplantation. For a child and his or her family, a transplant can bring the joyous realization of new life. The transplant process, however, can also present overwhelming emotional and financial challenges which most families are simply not prepared to face. TFC exists to help families master those challenges. Our organization was established to “be there” when families need somewhere to turn for help.

Talk About It! educates the community on the importance of Care. Adopt. Neuter. to help San Antonio become the largest no-kill city in the nation. Through a strategic plan adopted in 2006, the City of San Antonio committed to becoming a no-kill community for companion animals. No-kill means any healthy, treatable, or adoptable pet that ends up at the city shelter will not be put down simply because there is no space for them. Established in 2007, Talk About It! serves as the driving force to bring people together in an effort to achieve no-kill in San Antonio. We help all animal welfare organizations and groups achieve their goals to increase pet adoptions, help make spay/neuter clinics more available and affordable, and create public awareness about overall caring for our pets. We want to make San Antonio a happy and safe place for both pets and people. -- Care. Adopt. Neuter.
