Our heart is providing support, advocacy, and awareness for organ donation.

A 501(c)3 charity, the Billy Moon Foundation honors fallen FDNY firefighter Billy Moon. The heart of our mission is providing support, advocacy, and awareness for organ donation across the country, while offering financial assistance to donor and recipient families. By sharing our story and engaging the community, we ensure that donated funds help families with essential needs—such as food, travel, and lodging—throughout their organ donation and transplant journey.

Organ donation can have a profound impact on not just a recipient, but donors and communities as well.

The Service Never Ends:
A Legacy that Saves Lives.

Billy Moon, a lifelong dreamer and devoted FDNY firefighter, spent 21 years serving New York City and 28 years volunteering in the Islip Fire Department, rising to Chief of Department. Known for his huge smile, big personality, and unwavering dedication to helping others, Billy was also a loving husband and father of two. After a tragic firehouse fall in December 2022, he gave his final gift through organ donation, saving five lives, and the Billy Moon Foundation honors his legacy by  supporting organ donor and recipient families with essential needs and raising awareness of the lifesaving power of donation.

A big thank you to our volunteers, the New York Islanders, and everyone who came to support us at the New York Islanders game versus New Jersey Devils on January 6th! It was an honor to be one of the organizations to receive a donation from the 50/50! 

It was a fun night and a big win for everyone. 9-0! LGI! 💙🧡 @nyislanders

There is no exact timetable for the waiting list. You can get matched quickly, or you may need to wait years for a suitable organ. 

How long you wait is mainly determined by the availability of donated organs and the degree of compatibility between you and the donor.

🪽Three years without Billy.

Three years of missing his laugh, his spirit, and the energy he brought into our lives, yet feeling his presence in everything we do.

This anniversary reminds us that love doesn’t end, and legacies don’t fade. Billy’s continues through every life touched, every story shared, and every conversation about organ donation that leads to hope.

Today, we remember him, we honor him, and we carry his heart forward, together.

❤️Forever in our hearts.
