Named after our founder Buddy Minyard, Buddy Cares is our outreach program for patients in need. It includes our Buddy Bear, Travel Buddy, Buddy Notes and Buddy in Action programs. These programs represent hope, support and friendship to our patients by providing them with a plush bear, a hand-written note, a roller suitcase, and/or a visit from Buddy Bear himself.

Learn moreLTX Spotlight Story
I was diagnosed with AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia) in March 2021. My life completely stopped, and I have been in treatment and in and out of the hospital for the last couple of years.
In the fall of 2021, I went into remission, but unfortunately relapsed in February 2022 and needed more treatment and hospital stays to get me back into remission. I traveled to MDA in Houston for a bone marrow transplant in July 2022. I stayed in Houston until November that year and thankfully got to come home just before Thanksgiving.
Since the transplant, I have been receiving maintenance chemo and have been focusing on my healing and recovery. I recently received good news that I am cancer free, and I was able to stop all chemo entirely. I have made really great progress since a year ago!
The financial gift from LTX was such an encouragement and lifted my spirits during a much-needed time. You all have made a positive impact in my life, and I am so thankful for your time, resources, and support. They have been a great blessing to me!
