Knots of Hope

Knots of Hope is a community-service organization that is dedicated to raising funds as well as local awareness for the Transplant Foundation, Inc. affiliated with the Miller School of Medicine at the University of Miami.

Created and founded by high school student and avid community service volunteer Priscilla Suzal-Wright and a band of loyal, devoted and equally committed friends; Lauren Martin, Nikki Baralt, Gaby Baralt, Rachel Jara, Nati Aguirre, Nicole Aguirre, Taylor Perry, Tatyana Bidopia, Isabella Levanthal, Nicole Martinez, Natalie Abad, Patricia Trujillo, Marlin Gonzalez, Natasha Perez, Barbara Lopez Finaldi, Scarlett Artola, Carolina Flores, and Krystal Amador - Knots of Hope has flourished as a way of bonding with friends while giving back to the community. By designing, producing and selling colorful, fashionable and charming hand-made string and beaded “knots of hope” bracelets, the girls have bonded together for a cause that is close to their hearts, helping the Transplant Foundation gain necessary funding while volunteering their time at various Walk-A-Thons, beading bracelets with the patients at Miami Children’s Hospital (ranked among the best in the nation in 2010), making care packages and house/hospital visits, celebrating the holidays and monthly events called “celebrate life” with the families staying at the Transplant House and attending many other charitable events hosted throughout the year.

Knots of Hope continues to grow day by day with the charitable goal of raising awareness and drawing attention to the importance of organ donation. Knots of Hope instills hope in those who are in need of transplants as well as their loving families by fundraising and earning vital funds for the Transplant Foundation – a foundation with a mission to provide services for transplant recipients, increase organ donation through community education and fund transplant research. Knots of Hope enjoys a bright and hopeful vision, with optimism that their organization will grow and eventually evolve into a nationally recognized charity that will continue to make a major difference in people’s lives.
