Give Hope
Dear Friend,
The road through a transplant is long and difficult, and rarely understood by anyone who has not had the misfortune of traveling that path. The Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) strives each day to make this journey less stressful for each of our families.
Giving Hope … Making Miracles is much more than a slogan for our organization -- it is COTA’s guiding vision. Since 1986, COTA has become the premier organization providing fundraising assistance to families facing a life-saving transplant. Families from throughout the nation, representing every ethnic, economic, religious and social background, have worked with COTA. Along the way we have shared tears, we have conquered huge obstacles, we have celebrated miracles, and every day, we have hoped.

COTA cannot promise an organ or tissue match, but we can share our expertise about how COTA can help build a campaign to raise the funds to give your child a second chance at life.

Giving Hope:
“When we first started researching the cost of a transplant, we started to worry because our insurance would not cover everything. COTA gave us hope by raising the funds we needed with a team of our friends and family members. COTA funds would be available for David whenever he needed them. That gave us hope.”
