A Thank You to COTA


I just wanted to thank you again for your continued support and for helping little Sergio and Jonathan make their journey to Richmond.  You’ll be happy to know that I spoke to both their mothers and both boys are doing well and continue to get better and better every day.  I know this could not have been possible without you.  Thank you again for all you do an please let us know how we can continue to support the wonderful work of Children of the Americas.  Attached is a very cute picture of little Jonathan, his mom gave it to us right before they went back to Guatemala.  Enjoy!
