COTA for Coleman's Fight

Our Story

UPDATE: Moving to North Carolina Monday December 1, 2025. I will start pre transplant rehab at the end of the week. Upon completion of pre transplant rehab I will be listed for transplant. Thank you to all the donors for making this journey possible. We love y’all and will keep updating. God has a plan.

My name is Coleman Drew. I am 27 years old, born and raised in Montgomery, AL. I have been my dad’s right-hand man at his remodeling business for years. As my health has declined, I have found a new passion in doing short hauls for people. My hobbies consist of hunting, and I love all things ATV and of course older Cummins diesels. I was diagnosed at 18 months old with Cystic Fibrosis, spent most of my childhood in and out of the hospital setting. At the age of 15 I underwent a double lung transplant. My body took to these new lungs like God made them for me. For years I thrived. Doing the things all normal teenage boys do. Fast forward to now, I find myself in need of another double lung transplant. I am now awaiting yet another miracle that God can fit me with the perfect lungs once again.

We have partnered with COTA for assistance with transplant-related expenses. Please consider donating to COTA in my honor.
