Wow! The turnout for Evelyn\u2019s COTA fundraiser was absolutely incredible, truly beyond anything we could have imagined. I wish we had enough time to thank each and every person individually, because so many hands and hearts made this day possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the amazing volunteers who have been planning since November, to those who helped set up, donated baskets, baked treats, cooked food, entertained the kids, played music, and gave their time thank you. Every detail came together so beautifully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We raised more than we ever dreamed for COTA, and it\u2019s because of you, our friends, family, and community who continue to stand beside us. Every dollar donated to COTA for Evelyn\u2019s Heart, every hug, every prayer, every show of support helps us breathe a little easier as we navigate this transplant journey with Evelyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
