Dear Friends,

As I think about the people from every walk of life who have come to COTS – children and families, working class folks, even some professionals – I see the truth that we all can be broken by the challenges of life.

Let me tell you about Kelly Bidegain. He worked as a plumber when a tragic car accident broke his body and shattered his life. Kelly’s story is the most inspiring I’ve heard in almost 20 years at COTS.

You can click on the video to hear him tell you in his own words how COTS helped Kelly regain his confidence and self-respect, go back to school for a new profession, and get back under a roof of his own.

You can help struggling, hard-working people like Kelly by making a donation today.

Your donation will help COTS:

● continue to provide vital programs that help children and their families thrive and adults rebuild their lives,

● feed impoverished families, seniors and disabled adults through the Petaluma Kitchen,

● provide lifeline services, including professional counseling and skills building classes.

Your support has been critical to COTS’ success, and I thank you for all you have done to help. We need your help more now than ever. Please click here to donate now.

With my deepest appreciation and best wishes for the holidays and New Year,

John Records,
Executive Director
