Why Support Bonus Days?

Bonus Days is a patient-led print magazine created by a heart transplant recipient. Every issue is built with love, lived experience, and honesty -  not algorithms. It’s the only national print publication made specifically for transplant and chronic illness patients, their families, medical teams, and donor families. It reflects stories you won’t find anywhere else.

Every purchase directly funds:

• Paying writers, photographers, designers, and contributors

• Printing costs

• Shipping supplies and logistics

• Travel to photograph and interview stories

• Accessible pricing for hospitals, donor families, and patients

Your support literally keeps pages being printed.

Not yet - Bonus Days is a self-funded, community-supported publication. Every dollar is reinvested into making the next issue possible.

Because big publishers aren’t telling these stories - we are.

Bonus Days survives on:

• Individual purchases

• Bulk orders from hospitals

• Sponsorships and advertisers

• Word of mouth

• Social media shares

The more support we get, the more pages we can print and the more people we can uplift.

Readers tell us they feel seen for the first time.

Bonus Days helps by offering:

• Honest stories that make people feel less alone

• Practical guides for life after transplant

• Grief support and donor family stories

• Tips from caregivers, doctors, dietitians, nurses

• “While You Wait” pages for hospital days

• Activities + joy + hope

We hear from people who bring it to clinic, dialysis, ICU waiting rooms, and chemo chairs.

• Transplant patients

• Chronic illness patients

• Donor families

• Caregivers

• Doctors, nurses, social workers, transplant coordinators

Because patients often read in waiting rooms, hospital beds, dialysis chairs, infusion centers, and living rooms where screens feel overwhelming.

Print is tangible, comforting, and can be held, highlighted, revisited, and shared.

Bonus Days is a keepsake - not content you scroll past.
