COTA for Zamari Safari

Our Story

Lightning has struck in our family yet again; another one of LaShana’s children have been diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy. Baby Zamari is strong, but he is in need of a new heart. Mari’s Mom and Dad are currently running two households as at least one parent is required to be no more than five minutes from the hospital. The wonderful medical staff has provided them with an apartment three blocks from the hospital but two hours away from home. As a family unit, the best way forward was to have Sha stay close to the hospital as hubby works while their grandmother cares for their other four children. It’s been a two-month battle thus far but we’re just getting started. Donations to COTAforZamariSafari will ease the burden of paying for out-of-pocket co-pays & medical expenses, specialists & advisor fees, therapy sessions for the parents and children, travel needs, and utilities & upkeep in their second home. If you’re able to give, able to share “Their Story”, able to pray, or able to follow their journey through the below website, we’d greatly appreciate any and all of it ❤️‍🩹
