Giving Hope:
“Through COTA, our family has received much welcomed support that helped us overcome a very difficult time in our lives, Alexis’ transplant. COTA provided ‘hope’ that our personal financial burdens would be minimal and most importantly allowed us to concentrate on our daughter and her needs.”
