John, every child who comes to Children's Hospital Los Angeles has a story. Lucia's began when she was just a toddler.

She suffered hundreds of seizures, every single day—until the expert team in CHLA's Comprehensive Epilepsy Center developed a personalized treatment plan, including a specialized ketogenic diet. Our specialists helped the entire family through every step of this transition, keeping Lucia in inpatient care while she adjusted to a new ketogenic formula.

Today, Lucia is thriving. She has been seizure-free since September 2023. Stories like hers are why we do what we do at CHLA—and why your support matters so deeply.

Everything we do to help kids like Lucia depends on the support of caring people like you, John. Today, as funding for pediatric research and health care is uncertain, more families than ever are relying on the hospital in their time of need. As a nonprofit hospital, Children's Hospital Los Angeles relies on members of the community like you to help us provide leading-edge treatment for children.

Right now, your gift to the Children's Fund will be TRIPLE MATCHED by Credit Unions for Kids, up to $500,000, to help fund lifesaving care and groundbreaking research for patients like Lucia, but this opportunity ends at midnight on Dec. 31. Will you make a $10 gift to help us ensure that every child who comes to CHLA receives the compassionate, expert care they deserve?

From hundreds of seizures per day to being seizure-free since 2023, Lucia is going places, thanks to support from people like you! Make your TRIPLE-MATCHED gift before midnight on Dec. 31 to help more kids like her >> Triple My Impact

Your gift during this critical period will go three times as far to give children access to the expert physicians, innovative treatments, and compassionate care that helped Lucia get her childhood back. After switching to a ketogenic diet, Lucia saw tremendous improvement in just months. "It was like our daughter woke up," her mother Gloria told us. "She became Lucia."

Our team sees the extraordinary impact of this community's generosity every day: children taking their first steps, ringing the bell after their last round of chemotherapy for cancer, and kids like Lucia finally getting to live free from seizures. These moments are only possible because caring people like you chip in to make it happen. Will you make a gift of $10 or more today to help more kids like Lucia?

I hope you'll make a 3x-matched gift before our midnight deadline on Wednesday. Together, we can give even more children the chance to heal, thrive, and grow up healthy.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Paul S. Viviano Chief Executive Officer Children's Hospital Los Angeles
