With the cost of a transplant often exceeding $500,000, many transplant families are unable to shoulder the financial burden of such a procedure. The Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) is a national charity dedicated to organizing and guiding communities in raising funds for transplant-related expenses. In Pittsburgh, volunteers have raised funds for COTA in honor of transplant patients like local baby, Myka Joy Reeder.
Myka Joy is the daughter of Richie & Regan Reeder and younger sister of Alivia. Born on January 30, 2015, Myka Joy was diagnosed with Methylmalonic Acidemia and the doctors at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, recommended a pediatric liver transplant in the very near future to lessen the severe complications of her disease. The Reeders are grateful for donations in excess of $50,000 that has been raised by friends and family.
Myka Joy received her life-changing liver transplant on January 7th, 2017. Her 2-month hospitalization was filled with many complications and setbacks, but she’s currently on the recovery journey to stable health.
We are happy to be working with you!
I pray that the Lord will heal little Myra. I pray He strengthens you all. Keep your eyes on Him.
Praying, you get to go home soon. Know you can handle the daily battles with Myka. You have the Lord on your side, and all of us praying for you. God bless.

I am interceding to our heavenly Father right now for all of you!
