Hi John,
Children's Hospital Los Angeles patient Maverick hadn't even reached his first birthday when he was diagnosed with end-stage kidney disease.
I know that doesn't sound like the start of an uplifting story—but it is. Because what happened next is the perfect example of what community support, loving families and dedicated staff help make possible every day at CHLA.
Watch the video to meet Maverick and get a little feel-good boost ahead of the holiday.
In this unusual time, stories like Maverick's remind me of all that's possible when we work together. We can heal. We can provide incredible care. And we can make sure that one beaming little boy has the healthy future that he—and every child—deserves.
I'm so grateful for your generous, caring support that helps kids like Maverick get the care they need.
On behalf of our patients, patient families and staff, thank you for being a part of the Children's Hospital Los Angeles community and for making stories like Maverick's possible.
I wish you and yours a happy Thanksgiving.
Sincerely,
|
