"Major the Miracle Child"

My Accountant's (and dear friend) 2 year old grandson, Major, is in need of a kidney transplant.

They have received word that the transplant will occur on July 7, 2008 in California. COTA (Children's Organ Transplant Association) has set up an account to help defray costs and help the family in this time. Here is a link to his webpage so that you can read more about his situation http://www.cotaformajork.com/. I have also included a link to the side for easy access to follow his progress.

Major has defied all odds and is truly a "Miracle Child." He was recently the Children's Miracle Network Child for the Austin Area.

Not only do the parents, Karroll and Stephanie, have Major to deal with they have two daughters as well: Taylor who is 7 and Sydney who is 5. Taylor and Sydney will have to be separated from their Mom, Dad, and Brother while they are out in California with the transplant.

Major, has struggled to fight health problems since he was born in 2006. He was never expected to live beyond a few days. However, he beat the odds and has now become known as "Major, the Miracle Child." In a few weeks, Karroll, Stephanie, and Major are moving to California for several months. On July 7, Major's dad, Karroll, will donate one of his own kidneys to Major in hopes of giving his son a chance for a more normal life. They are currently working with a wonderful organization called the Children's Organ Transplant Association (COTA) to raise money to help with transplant-related expenses. If you would like to read more about Major or donate to his fund, please visit his website at http://www.cotaformajork.com/. The site will be updated periodically to let you know how Major is doing pre-transplant and post-transplant.

Once you have read his story and seen his picture, you can't help but fall in love with him! Please share his story with all your friends and family.
