Hello everyone and thank you for visiting the COTA for Valen Strong Facebook Fundraiser. For National Donate Life Month, we are running a fundraiser in honor of Valen Strong and raising national awareness for organ transplantation. In June of 2021, healthy 3.5 year old Valen Krasnov unexpectedly went into acute idiopathic liver failure. Two weeks of testing and being admitted, Valen is listed on the National Transplant Waiting list. Within 12 hours, he receives a life saving split liver transplant in July of 2021. Although life saving, the transplant came with complications. Despite the complications, due to the gift of life his donor gave him, he has a second chance at life. 100% of all donations to COTA in honor of Valen will go directly to transplant-related expenses. He will have very costly medical bills and prescriptions his whole life. He will have to be on numerous expensive prescriptions to keep his body from rejecting the transplant as well as many appointments, procedures, and imaging needed daily, weekly, and monthly for the rest of his life. Valen even faces the possibility of needing a second transplant within his lifetime. COTA stands ready to assist Valen for a lifetime.
You can read his full story and follow his journey on his website at https://cota.org/cotaforvalenstrong/https://cota.org/cotaforvalenstrong/
Thank you so much for all your support, donations to COTA, prayers, and thoughts for Valen.
