Update on Jose's fundraiser

What an incredible show of support for Jose there has been these last few days. From a former COTA foster parent in Nashville to a group of nurses in New Jersey, and on into Wyoming from a COTA friend who filmed a documentary on our program....the concern for this little boy has been reflected in financial donations. To date we have $5,676.34 in-hand and $6,200 pledged. This leaves Jose's fund with a total of $11,876.34 if all pledges are received.
Please help by passing this message onto any friends or family you might think would be interested. We are still $6,823.66 short, and if by a miracle we are able to raise anything over our goal, it would be much appreciated. The foster family is prepared to pay their own travel and hotel expenses to NYC for Jose's surgery. What a gift if they didn't have to.
Thank you to all who are helping. I have let Jose's parents know of your efforts.
