For those of you who haven\u2019t followed Valen\u2019s journey before, this is Valen Krasnov. He is 6 years old! These photos are all post transplant. You can see him with his mom and dad, Kelsey and Zac. You can see him playing with his sister, Kora. You can see him grinning from losing his first teeth. What you may not see in these photos are the memories of his move to Wisconsin, his new friends in his cul de sac, his first snow experience, his love for sports, his <a><\/a>first day as a kindergartner, and many more. His family and friends are more than thankful for all of these memories which were made possible through organ donation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you and continue following along!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforvalenstrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3597\/2024\/04\/vf21-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-110\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforvalenstrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3597\/2024\/04\/vf21-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforvalenstrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3597\/2024\/04\/vf21-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforvalenstrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3597\/2024\/04\/vf21-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforvalenstrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3597\/2024\/04\/vf21.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforvalenstrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3597\/2024\/04\/vf22-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-111\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforvalenstrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3597\/2024\/04\/vf22-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforvalenstrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3597\/2024\/04\/vf22-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforvalenstrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3597\/2024\/04\/vf22-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforvalenstrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3597\/2024\/04\/vf22.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"745\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforvalenstrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3597\/2024\/04\/vf23-745x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforvalenstrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3597\/2024\/04\/vf23-745x1024.jpg 745w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforvalenstrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3597\/2024\/04\/vf23-218x300.jpg 218w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforvalenstrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3597\/2024\/04\/vf23-768x1056.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforvalenstrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3597\/2024\/04\/vf23-1118x1536.jpg 1118w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforvalenstrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3597\/2024\/04\/vf23.jpg 1490w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 745px) 100vw, 745px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey everyone!
