Hope. Support. Healing.
The JJ’s Legacy Gift of Life Program provides compassionate support to Kern County transplant recipients and their families during one of life's most challenging journeys. Through financial assistance, comfort resources, and community support, we help ease the burdens that often accompany organ transplantation so recipients can focus on healing and recovery.
Financial Assistance

To qualify, applicants must:
- Be a Kern County resident
- Have received an organ transplant within the past 365 days

By helping relieve financial stress, JJ’s Legacy allows recipients and their families to focus on what matters most—healing, recovery, and building a healthy future.
