Hi John, Jimmy Kimmel here. As part of my job, I talk a lot, but there is no subject I like talking about more than the important work being done at Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
You might know why: In 2017, my son, Billy was born with a rare and life-threatening heart condition—and was cared for by the incredible doctors and nurses at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. But it's not just Billy's life these heroes have saved. Chances are you or someone you know has been helped by this great hospital.
That's why I'm teaming up with Children's Hospital Los Angeles to raise $500,000 before midnight tomorrow while every gift will go 3X as far.
Make your $10 gift before the ball drops while it will be matched 3X and help make sure that critical, lifesaving care is available to every child who needs it.
Earlier this year, our son, Billy, had his third successful open-heart surgery at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. It is a humbling experience to place your child's life in someone else's hands. Still, my wife, Molly, and I are grateful to know there are extraordinary health care professionals at CHLA who do everything in their power to help Billy—and all the children in their care.
At the hospital we've met other parents at their most vulnerable and seen children facing difficult health challenges. Each time we are there with Billy, we are reminded of how fortunate we are to have a world-class hospital like CHLA right here in our city.
Every child deserves the very best care, and CHLA opens its doors to families from around the country and the globe who require specialized, high-quality care—all thanks to the generosity of caring friends like you.
Nothing matters more than taking care of each other, so I hope you'll take advantage of this special triple-match opportunity to make more stories like Billy's possible. Your year-end gift of $10 or more will go three times as far, but only until midnight tomorrow—so please don't wait another moment to give!
With love and gratitude,
