How You Can Still Help
financial donation
The Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) helps individuals of any age with a single-gene disorder such as Polycystic Kidney Disease (that's me!).
100% of contributions made "in honor of Marc Schweitzer" are used to reimburse me for transplant-related expenses.
COTA’s services are free of charge and gifts to COTA are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
My transplant was performed at Intermountain Medical Center in Salt Lake City, Utah so there are a lot of travel expenses flying between Oakland and SLC.
I have to stay close to the hospital for a month so there is food and lodging for the month of July, for both myself and a carepartner (my brother Frank, and lifelong friend Paul are taking shifts). A rental car, etc.
And then there are monthly follow up appointments in SLC also. I estimate all this at $30k.
