Nonprofit offers hope to transplant patients

Wylie resident Gynovel Henry has overcome extraordinary challenges, including multiple organ transplants, to emerge as a beacon of hope.

This year, he transformed his experiences into action by officially launching Gynovel’s Gifts, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting transplant patients and their families.

“Introducing Gynovel’s Gifts as we kick off 2025 with gratitude,” Henry, 55, shared on social media. “I’m especially grateful to those who’ve inspired me to spread empowerment, resilience, hope and healing.”

Henry’s journey to founding Gynovel’s Gifts was marked by trials that few can imagine. After his first heart transplant in 2018, he faced a second heart transplant and a kidney transplant in 2023 after a bout with Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) weakened his heart and transplant medications taxed his kidney.
