Dear John,

I write to you today with a heart full of gratitude and urgency. We're approaching a critical deadline, and your support is essential to ensure that children like my daughter, Florence, continue to receive the life-changing care they deserve.

To cut to the chase, Children's Hospital Los Angeles is looking for 310 supporters to make a gift in the next 24 hours to help provide lifesaving care and groundbreaking research for kids like my daughter. Join us right now with a gift of $10 or more >>

You see, Florence's journey began with a diagnosis that devastated our family. She wasn't even 2 years old when we learned she had a life-threatening, malignant brain tumor. Our world turned upside down, but we found hope and strength within the walls of Children's Hospital Los Angeles. The doctors, nurses and every team member at the hospital became more than just caregivers; they were our pillars of support.

Florence underwent six hours of surgery, followed by months of chemotherapy. But my child's spirit and resilience are unwavering. Her latest MRI shows no signs of disease. She's on the path to recovery, and our family is filled with gratitude for her health and the care we received at CHLA. Florence is a living testament to the impact of your support.

It's difficult to put into words the profound impact CHLA has had on our lives. From the day Florence was diagnosed to the moment we saw her smile again, the kindness we were met with here was a beacon of hope, reassurance and strength during our darkest days. As a parent, I can't thank you enough for being a part of our journey.

Now, as we approach a crucial deadline, CHLA needs your support. In the next 24 hours, your first $10 gift can bring us one step closer to our goal and ensure that children like my daughter Florence continue to receive the compassionate care they require.

Your contributions have truly transformed lives. As we approach this deadline, I ask for your help. When you make a gift now, you become one of the 310 heroes helping more children like Florence get the care they need.

With heartfelt thanks,

Eugenia (Florence's mom)
