The Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) helps children and young adults who need a life-saving transplant by providing fundraising assistance and family support. Donations for children receiving transplants form the backbone of our organization.

COTA makes a strong and positive impact on each transplant family who chooses to become part of our Family. Since 1986, that impact has resulted in life-giving hope for thousands of transplant families from generous contributors donating more than $150 million to assist thousands of children and young adults needing a life-saving organ or tissue transplant.

COTA is the nation’s only fundraising organization solely dedicated to raising life-saving dollars in honor of transplant-needy children and young adults. 100% of each contribution made to COTA in honor of our patients helps

Rafe Cross’ Story

Rafe was a sweet, energetic 3 year old little boy when he was in the fight of his life the day after Thanksgiving 2020. He started not feeling well and was referred to OU Children’s medical center in OKC. His condition continued to decline despite all the doctor’s efforts and on Tuesday, Dec 8, 2020, Rafe was flown by air ambulance from OU Children’s to Cincinnati Children’s to be near a transplant center if needed.

Rafe continued to have daily highs and lows and was placed on the waiting list for a liver transplant. While on the waitlist, his condition rapidly declined which necessitated that he receive daily MARS therapy to help rid his body of the buildup of deadly toxins due to his liver not functioning properly.

With God’s guiding hand, a perfect match was found for Rafe and on Friday, Dec 18. 2020, he received a new liver.

Rafe is truly an amazing little boy! He is an “all-boy” boy. He loves playing outside, T-Ball games, riding the tractor with Daddy, doing crafts with Mommy and anything, and we mean absolutely anything, to do with dinosaurs.

meet transplant-related expenses. COTA’s services are free to our families, and gifts to COTA are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

Transplant procedure costs range from $100,000 to more than $800,000. Once the transplant is complete, families face significant transplant-related expenses, including medication; transportation to and from the center; lodging; and expenses while parents are out of work and often living with the hospitalized child far from home. These out-ofpocket expenses add up to tens of thousands of dollars annually for transplant families with lifetime totals exceeding $1,000,000. In cases where a shortfall exists, COTA helps bridge the financial gap by allocating donations for families receiving transplants.

Contributions to the Children’s Organ Transplant Association are used to assist the organization in our mission to help transplant families. n

He has consistently exceeded the doctor’s expectations of his recovery and he is now home in Oklahoma. He makes periodic trips back to Cincinnati to check in with his doctors there and monitor his progress.

The prayers, calls, texts and love shown to our family has been overwhelming and we cannot express how much each and every one means to us as we continue with Rafe in his recovery. He is truly our little walking miracle.

As you can imagine, the costs associated with Rafe’s medical care were absolutely astronomical. We asked for assistance from COTA to assist with transplant-related expenses. The support of our family, friends and community for the COTA for Rafes Fight campaign has made us very aware that we live in a wonderful place. We appreciate each and every one who donated.

May God bless you all, Greg
