My daughter, Emme, was a pretty typical kid for the first few years of her life. She had some issues--vomiting once in a while, sleep changes--nothing that made my husband and I worry much.

But one day, my bubbly 3-year-old suddenly went from being a bundle of energy to so tired she couldn't make it out of bed. After frantic trips to medical offices and multiple transfers, we ended up at Children's Hospital Los Angeles.

I can't really describe how it felt to have the specialists there tell us that our 3-year-old, our sweet child born just one day after Valentine's Day, was in complete heart failure. But if you have a child in your life who means everything to you, then you might be able to imagine how it feels.

That's why I'm reaching out to you today--because at the darkest moment of our lives, Children's Hospital Los Angeles was there for us. And I need your help to make sure they can be there for the next family that is getting the scariest news of their lives.

It was a long, scary road, but we had amazing support at every step. Children's Hospital Los Angeles is one of the top hospitals for pediatric heart care in the United States, and while we didn't want our daughter to be sick, we knew we were in the best possible place for her to get well.

From specialists at the top of their field, to nurses who made it their mission to keep our daughter's spirits up, to a medical team that checked in with us regularly to see if we were ok with how our daughter's care was progressing, every person on her care team shared expertise and compassion that made the months Emme spent waiting for a new heart less scary.

Emme finally got a new heart. Now, she can go back to just being a kid. And I want every kid to have that opportunity.

John, will you help me make sure that nothing stands in the way of families whose children need medical care, treatment, or the next big research breakthrough?

Your donation to the Children's Fund goes TWICE as far to support kid-centered care and leading cardiology and other research at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Make a gift by MIDNIGHT that goes 2X as far to help doctors, nurses and other staff provide the best care for kids like Emme.
