📣 Our COTA for Jaime’s Second Chance team has been hard at work! 💙
First and foremost, thank you to every single person who has donated, attended an event, shared a post, volunteered, or encouraged our family along the way. Every dollar raised for COTA helps with lifelong transplant-related expenses, and every act of kindness reminds us how incredible this community truly is.
We’re far from done! Our team has been busy planning ways to keep moving toward our $100,000 fundraising goal, and we wanted to share a look at what’s coming up. Mark your calendars!
