Our sweet Angelica is only 10 years old, but she has already shown more strength, kindness, and courage than most. On April 10, 2026, she received a life-saving kidney transplant—a blessing we are endlessly grateful for. Since then, she has remained in the hospital, fighting every day to heal and grow stronger.
Even through the long days and difficult moments, Angelica continues to be the same loving, respectful, and caring girl we all know. Her spirit has never wavered, and her heart continues to shine so brightly.
As she begins this new chapter, Angelica will need ongoing care, support, and accommodations to help her recover safely and comfortably at home. From medical needs to creating a healing environment for her, this journey comes with challenges we cannot face alone.
We are asking for your help—whether through donations to COTA for Angelica, prayers, or simply sharing her story. With the support of our community and the kindness of the COTA family, we are hoping to give Angelica everything she needs to continue healing and thrive in the days ahead.
Every contribution to COTA for Angelica, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to helping Angelica rest, recover, and return to the life she deserves.
Thank you for standing with Angelica and surrounding her with love during this time. 💛
