Because of your generosity, love, and steadfast support, we have almost reached our original fundraising goal. This incredible milestone was only possible because of the kindness of our community\u2014family, friends, and even caring strangers who have stood beside us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are proud to share that COTA has recognized and applauded the amazing efforts of our community. They have been blown away by the strength, unity, and compassion shown for Addi and our family. Because of this, they have raised the COTA for Addi&#8217;s Journey goal to $100,000. It means so much to know that the impact of your giving is seen and celebrated far beyond our circle.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your support means more than we can ever fully express. COTA funds help lift the enormous burden of transplant-related expenses, which is much greater than we originally anticipated. Although Addi has received her transplant, her journey continues. Lifelong care, medications, travel, and ongoing medical needs do not end here, and your continued support of COTA for Addi&#8217;s Journey makes all the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We encourage you to keep sharing Addi\u2019s story and advocating for transplant families. Every donation to COTA for Addi\u2019s Journey\u2014big or small\u2014enables hope and healing for her and others like her. COTA ensures these funds will be available for transplant related expenses throughout her life, and we cannot begin to describe the peace of mind that brings our family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the deepest part of our hearts, thank you. Your generosity has lifted us, sustained us and reminded us that we are never walking this road alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With endless gratitude,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Wall Family<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"852\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforaddisjourney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6628\/2025\/11\/IMG_2531-852x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-181\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforaddisjourney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6628\/2025\/11\/IMG_2531-852x1024.jpeg 852w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforaddisjourney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6628\/2025\/11\/IMG_2531-250x300.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforaddisjourney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6628\/2025\/11\/IMG_2531-768x923.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforaddisjourney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6628\/2025\/11\/IMG_2531.jpeg 1206w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 852px) 100vw, 852px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforaddisjourney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6628\/2025\/11\/image000001-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforaddisjourney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6628\/2025\/11\/image000001-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforaddisjourney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6628\/2025\/11\/image000001-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforaddisjourney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6628\/2025\/11\/image000001-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforaddisjourney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6628\/2025\/11\/image000001.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are overwhelmed with gratitude for every single person who has donated to COTA in honor of Addi\u2019s journey.
