Special thanks to Andy Pitter for your donation in honor of David. A Pitler.

Each and every donation makes an impact, but we want be sure to recognize every donation given in memory or in honor of someone special. So you will see more as the year comes to a close. And yet another photo of really cute COTA kids from last year to get you pumped up for Jan 2026! Thanks again to all who gave to our fundraising effort.

COTA volunteers are gearing up and counting down to our 2026 trip! We are so happy to return to Retalhuleu National Hospital. This trip will focus on a small number of surgeries for women and children including: pediatric club foot, limb malformations, pediatric hernias and undescended testicles, women’s hernias, gallbladder removal. We will have our clinic on January 18, and the surgeries will be performed throughout the week.

It takes volunteers from all across the country to make our team possible. We received a last minute donation of medical supplies from Florida. Jennifer Christmann and her crew combed through the donation center and packed a truck to the brim with goodies for our team. Jonathan Howlett drove the truck to the COTA warehouse and was met by our Kentucky crew to unload. Thanks to ALL the volunteers who helped with this supply haul! Get ready for packing and sorting day June 7th!
