Ocean City, NJ -- Bee A Blessing, Inc, a New Jersey-based non-profit corporation, has donated $10,000 to The Children's Organ Transplant Association located in Bloomington, Indiana.
Bee A Blessing's Treasurer, Linda Simek, noted that the donation will be designated specifically to help pay transplant-related medical expenses for Diego Arcila, a 13-year-old kidney transplant recipient from Scotch Plains, NJ. "Organ donation is a cause we hold very dear to our hearts," Simek stated, "and we are thrilled to be able to help Diego and his family by way of COTA."
Bee A Blessing, Inc. is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit public charity whose mission is to provide financial assistance to families of local transplant recipients, as well as to local no-kill animal shelters. Formed to honor the memory of Simek's sister, Janet Clendining Elliott, Bee a Blessing aims to raise money and awareness of causes she valued, including children, animal welfare, and organ and tissue donation. Elliott, who was a kidney and pancreas recipient, died in 2017.
