Thanks to the incredible generosity shown at our Silent Auction, we raised $7,500<\/strong> for COTA in Honor of Jacob<\/strong>. Once these donations are submitted, we will celebrate an important milestone\u2014reaching our mini-goal of $25,000<\/strong>. By raising $25,000 within our first 6 months of fundraising, COTA will award the COTA for Jacob\u2019s Hope campaign a $2,500 grant to assist with transplant-related expenses. This is a tremendous accomplishment, made possible by people who love, care, and continue to rally around Jacob. We are deeply grateful.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, we\u2019re inviting you to help us reach our next milestone: $12,500 more raised by December 31st<\/sup>, 2025.<\/strong> This will bring us to $37,500<\/strong>\u2014officially marking the halfway point toward our $75,000 overall goal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know this is a significant ask, and we don\u2019t take it lightly. As we enter the final weeks of the year, we come boldly and humbly asking for your support to help us meet this next goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a season of giving, and we believe there is no greater gift than supporting COTA in Honor of Jacob<\/strong>. We cannot heal his body\u2014that work belongs to Jacob and to God\u2014but we can<\/em> stand with him by supporting COTA and easing the burdens that come with a transplant journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s How You Can Help<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Like & Share This Post<\/strong>
Help us spread Jacob\u2019s story far beyond our immediate circle. Every like and share increases awareness and helps us reach people who may feel called to support COTA for Jacob\u2019s Hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Give If You\u2019re Able<\/strong>
Every donation\u2014big or small\u2014can Take Us Halfway by 2026. Your generosity directly supports COTA in honor of Jacob and eases the financial burdens of his transplant journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Continue to Pray & Encourage<\/strong>
If giving isn\u2019t possible right now, your prayers, encouragement, and support mean just as much. The family is reading the comments even when they cannot respond to every one of them.  Your prayers are valued and so appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
