Coach Cox

My name is Harold Andrew Cox. I prefer to be called Andy or Coach. I am 57-years-old and I have been a juvenile diabetic for 32 years. I am in need of a kidney-pancreas transplant, which I will have at the Mayo Hospital in Jacksonville, Florida.

I have been a football coach my entire life, and most of my time was spent on the college level. I have been very lucky because I love what I do. I never had to get up and say, “Damn I have to go to work today”. Being a coach, asking for help is not an easy task. You learn from the game, somehow, someway, to get it done. However, in this situation, I need to ask for help. I have to prove to the transplant center that I can cover the cost of my rejection medicine.

The young man in the picture with me and Santa is my adopted son Latarrius. Nine years ago he was in need of help, but I have to say, he has helped me more than I could have ever helped him. It’s amazing what you can do for people who try.

The expense of my rejection medications as well as other uninsured medical expenses is a challenge I cannot meet alone. I will be grateful for any help you can give me.

To help offset my uninsured costs, a fundraising campaign in my honor has been established with HelpHOPELive, a nonprofit organization that has been assisting the transplant community for nearly 30 years. All contributions are tax deductible, are held by HelpHOPELive in the Southeast Kidney/Pancreas Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only.

You can help make a difference in my life. Please consider making a contribution.

I believe I would be called “old school”, so I will say it like this: thank you for any help you can give me, and also helping me get the game to overtime.

Sincerely,
Coach
