John, I often sign my letters "my hand in yours." It's my way of saying, although I'm not with you right now, I wish I could reach out and take your hand.

This Giving Tuesday, I'm reaching out for the children who will come through the doors of Children's Hospital Los Angeles for the very first time. For the parents who are watching their child endure the hardest time of their life at such a young age. And for the doctors, nurses and staff who see triumph and heartbreak at work each day.

Will you join me in lending a hand to Children's Hospital Los Angeles this Giving Tuesday? When you make a $10 gift to support local kids today, it will be matched dollar for dollar to change their world.

I've supported Children's Hospital Los Angeles for more than 25 years because CHLA cares for Southern California's most vulnerable kids—no matter what their family's financial situation is. Thousands of kids come through the hospital doors each year. Kids like Ella.

At just 2 years old, Ella was diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma, a cancer of the nervous system. Her cancer was stage 4—meaning it had spread to other parts of her body. Ella and her family moved from the East Coast to Southern California in search of the best treatment, and found it at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. After undergoing a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy, Ella is now 5 years old.

Every child deserves the top-notch care that specialists at Children's Hospital Los Angeles provide.

So today, I'm asking you to join me in making a donation to the No. 1 children's hospital on the West Coast—because when we all join hands, miracles can happen for sick and injured kids.

Be the one who saves a life with your first donation this Giving Tuesday. Help Children's Hospital Los Angeles be the place that more families can turn to for hope with your gift of $10 or more today—every dollar will be multiplied 2X, up to $200,000, to help every child receive the care they deserve.

Thank you for helping make Children's Hospital Los Angeles such a special place for kids.

My hand in yours,

Jamie Lee Curtis Actor and Longtime Supporter of Children's Hospital Los Angeles
