Allie hosts a segment on Sunday mornings to highlight a local nonprofits and organizations. She interviewed Eric (Theo\u2019s father) about Theo and the COTA organization. It aired on 12\/15, please take a listen here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.audacy.com\/podcast\/1037-kiss-fm-public-affairs-8c42d\/episodes\/alley-speaks-with-eric-scott-and-cota-about-kidney-donation-for-8-year-old-theo-scott-c4dbc\">https:\/\/www.audacy.com\/podcast\/1037-kiss-fm-public-affairs-8c42d\/episodes\/alley-speaks-with-eric-scott-and-cota-about-kidney-donation-for-8-year-old-theo-scott-c4dbc<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have been enjoying all the build up to Christmas! Baking cookies, driving around and seeing the Christmas lights and of course a visit to see Santa. Theo has especially enjoyed his mom\u2019s m&amp;m cookies, and he is really hoping for a PS5 for Christmas. Hopefully Santa will pull through for him!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This weekend, we had a visit from a family friend, Guy, whose adult son, Ray, went through a kidney transplant. It was so nice to visit with them, and to have Theo get to chat with someone who has been through a similar situation. Thank you so much to Guy and his sons Ray and Daniel for coming to spend time with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, please remember in your prayers the Okon family. Their daughter, Ebele, was a friend and a fellow student at Theo\u2019s school who unexpectedly passed away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone, and we will update again soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love,<br><br>The Scott Family<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotafortheostrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6372\/2024\/12\/IMG_7501-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-156\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotafortheostrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6372\/2024\/12\/IMG_7501-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotafortheostrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6372\/2024\/12\/IMG_7501-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotafortheostrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6372\/2024\/12\/IMG_7501-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotafortheostrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6372\/2024\/12\/IMG_7501-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotafortheostrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6372\/2024\/12\/IMG_7501-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"708\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotafortheostrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6372\/2024\/12\/IMG_7500-708x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotafortheostrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6372\/2024\/12\/IMG_7500-708x1024.jpg 708w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotafortheostrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6372\/2024\/12\/IMG_7500-207x300.jpg 207w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotafortheostrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6372\/2024\/12\/IMG_7500-768x1112.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotafortheostrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6372\/2024\/12\/IMG_7500-1061x1536.jpg 1061w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotafortheostrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6372\/2024\/12\/IMG_7500-1415x2048.jpg 1415w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotafortheostrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6372\/2024\/12\/IMG_7500-scaled.jpg 1769w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 708px) 100vw, 708px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotafortheostrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6372\/2024\/12\/Resized_20241221_115151_1734804698926-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotafortheostrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6372\/2024\/12\/Resized_20241221_115151_1734804698926-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotafortheostrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6372\/2024\/12\/Resized_20241221_115151_1734804698926-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotafortheostrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6372\/2024\/12\/Resized_20241221_115151_1734804698926-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotafortheostrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6372\/2024\/12\/Resized_20241221_115151_1734804698926-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotafortheostrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6372\/2024\/12\/Resized_20241221_115151_1734804698926-400x400.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotafortheostrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6372\/2024\/12\/Resized_20241221_115151_1734804698926-600x600.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotafortheostrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6372\/2024\/12\/Resized_20241221_115151_1734804698926.jpeg 1079w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi!
