The Children's Organ Transplant Association (COTA) was founded in April 1986 when residents of Bloomington, Ind., rallied around a toddler who needed a life-saving liver transplant. For more than three decades, COTA has assisted thousands of transplant families by helping to raise funds for transplant-related expenses.
COTA has built extensive volunteer networks across the nation in an attempt to ensure that no child or young adult needing an organ or tissue transplant is excluded from a transplant waiting list due to lack of funds. April was National Donate Life Month, and help is needed to support individuals who need transplants.
