After receiving a lifesaving bone marrow transplant at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, Nano is living his best life. And until MIDNIGHT tomorrow, your $10 gift will be TRIPLE MATCHED to help kids like Nano >>

John, every kid deserves a fun and care-free childhood. But at just 4 years old, Adriano (called "Nano" by his family) had a life that mostly consisted of hospital rooms, endless tests, and uncertainty.

The dream of going to school, playing sports, or even going on a family vacation seemed nearly impossible. He was born with a rare genetic condition called Fanconi anemia, which meant his body couldn't make enough healthy blood cells to keep him well.

CHLA's team of doctors and nurses were with Nano every step of the way, including the day he rang the bell in the Patricia and John Merrill Bone Marrow Transplant Unit and went home to begin a new chapter; which included tracking down his hero, Iron Man!

Each milestone like this, each ring of the bell, is made possible because generous people like you partner with us—to provide not only the lifesaving transplant and advanced care that Nano needed, but the long-term, multidisciplinary follow-up that gives patients the chance to just be kids again. And, at this moment, your support is more urgent than ever.

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, we rely 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 TRIPLED thanks to Credit Unions for Kids, up to $500,000. But this opportunity ends at midnight tomorrow, so act fast >>

That means every $1 you give today becomes $3 toward treatments, research that could make the next breakthrough in pediatric care possible, and vital care for kids like Nano. Please, John, join us by making a gift today to help build hope for the year ahead.

Thank you for being part of this incredible community of CHLA supporters, for believing in children's futures, and for giving kids like Nano the chance to play, to learn, to laugh—and look forward.

Sincerely,

Alexandra Carter, MBA, CFRE Senior Vice President and Chief Development Officer Children's Hospital Los Angeles
