When Sawyer came into our lives, Hunter, his big brother, couldn't wait to meet him. We vividly remember Hunter's innocent curiosity, whispering secrets to his baby brother through my growing belly. Little did we know the challenges that awaited us as a family.
On Sawyer's sixth day of life, our world was shattered. Cold symptoms escalated into a life-threatening cardiac arrest, plunging us into a nightmare we never imagined. Sawyer was in a medically induced coma, his tiny body fighting for survival against myocarditis, a rare heart condition in infants.
If you have a child in your life who means everything to you, John, you might be able to imagine how helpless we felt, knowing that my beautiful, happy baby would need a miracle to survive. But in the scariest moment of our lives, Children's Hospital Los Angeles was there for us—and we want them to be there for the next family, too.
Children's Hospital Los Angeles' Make March Matter campaign ends Sunday at midnight—and so does your opportunity to DOUBLE your impact for sick and injured children, like our son, Sawyer.
Donate today and your gift of $10 or more will be MATCHED dollar for dollar to help bring 2X the hope to families like ours.
On a day etched forever in our hearts, Sawyer was transferred to CHLA's Heart Institute, where, at just 7 months old, he received a heart transplant.
Today, Sawyer, our little warrior, is thriving—a testament to the incredible care he received at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. At just five weeks post-transplant, Sawyer went home and slept in his own crib for the first time. His infectious laughter fills our home, a reminder of the miracle we hold in our arms every day. And through it all, his big brother stands by Sawyer's side, a beacon of love and support.
We owe his bright future to the incredible team at CHLA, whose unwavering commitment gave us hope when we needed it most. Their dedication and expertise saved our son, giving him a chance at life when all seemed lost. And we want every family to have that opportunity.
John, will you help us make sure that every child who comes to the hospital gets the critical, lifesaving care they need?
Please make a generous gift of $10 or more to the Children's Fund by midnight Sunday, and your gift will be MATCHED dollar for dollar, up to $25,000.
Thank you for helping Make March Matter by making a difference for sick and injured kids at Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
Sincerely,
