John,
When COVID-19 first started to spread across the world, for most people it seemed far away, something that didn't seem like it would be affecting us here. But at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, we knew that sooner or later, the virus would be here.
And when it got here, we would be ready.
Children's Hospital Los Angeles is able to be ready for whatever comes our way only because of the generosity of people like you. Right now, you can make TWICE the difference with a gift to our Children's Fund—thanks to an anonymous donor, every dollar will be doubled up to $75,000.
I wish making sure we were ready for COVID-19 was the end of the story. But, as we all know, it wasn't. The threat is still very present, and we're working just as hard to keep our patients, their families and our committed staff safe. Which means we need your support today just as much as we did when this pandemic began.
John, can you help with a gift today? Your donation to the Children's Fund will be doubled, up to $75,000, thanks to a special matching gift—but ONLY until Thursday, Sep. 30.
COVID has made conditions worse for those in need of medical care, especially children. Many families are still suffering the economic impact of this disease, but their kids need care just the same. And since we're still in the midst of the pandemic, these difficulties aren't going away any time soon.
Right now, you can make an even bigger difference for the children we serve. Donate to the Children's Fund today and every dollar will go TWICE as far to help children get the care they need.
Thank you for all you do for our kids. I know that the work I do saves lives every day—and I also know that I couldn't do it without you.
I hope you and your family are continuing to stay safe in this time.
Sincerely,
|
