Parent or Guardian of a Patient

Hello my name is Yoleita and I have an 8 month old daughter who was born with a cleft lip and palate, a cleft foot, & also a cleft in her forehead.

We would have never imagined that we would be told that our little guy was in heart failure .... By a miracle, we were sent to CHLA where the care was phenomenal!

When I was pregnant with Christopher I found out at about 26 weeks along that Christopher had a heart defect called Hypoplastic Left heart syndrome.

Being a parent and knowing your newborn needs heart surgery is devasting. You don't know what to expect or what the outcome will be.

Almost 2 years ago, I was so upset to be at CHLA, now I am soooo HAPPY and BLESSED to have been sent there and I met so many WONDERFUL and KIND angels there.

Zoey's entrance into this world marked the commencement of a miraculous journey—a journey of challenges and obstacles—a journey of beauty, grace, and hope.

 Without these doctors close by, Sean would not be here.

 I'm Catholic but never in my life I thought I would find myself praying more than ever for all those beautiful children in desperate need of good health and my nephew is one of them....

 My daughter Antoinette Charmaigne Cerna was born with Spina Bifida...When we found out about her condition, we were scared and unsure of what path my daughter was going to take...

 El nombre de mi hija es Giselle...Su primer cirugia fue a los 6 dias de nacida y ahora a los 3 meses un cateterismo de la arteria aorta...

 On February 27, 2010 the CHLA Blood Donor Center allowed my wife, daughter and I to hold an annual Celebration of Life Blood Drive In Honor/Memory of our son "DJ"...

Evan went in for his first open heart surgery at the age of six weeks, which resulted in a two-ventricle heart with holes fixed! Although it wasn't an easy road—and he ended up needing a second open heart surgery to do a few more repairs two weeks later—we knew we were in the best hands. After a four-week stay, we happily took our baby boy home and enjoyed the happiest 9 months of our lives to date!

I thank God for Childrens Hospital because the doctors there have a good reputation for helping children. We are excited and can't wait to visit. My life will be at ease knowing my son is under your care.

The doctors were caring and we had a good experience. I am thankful for all they did and Childrens Hospital will always hold a special place within my heart.

 Christopher has celebrated 12 birthdays thanks to the doctors and staff here at CHLA.

 I would like to thank Dr. Kallin, his staff, all the nurses in ICU and everybody who was involved in any way to take care of my grandson and give him another chance to live a long,healthy, happy,successful life.

We love Childrens Hospital Los Angeles for the impact on our family, and, in my office, we love it for our patients as well. 

Keep up the hard work that you do for all the beautiful children that depend on you all each and every day.

Thank you so much for helping my son live healthy now.   I always knew you guys would save him and cure him. 

And, with your help, even my son said to me one day,

"I will never give up, mom, until I'm free of leukemia."

Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, we Thank You for making our dream come true.

David will have more surgeries in the future.  And its ok, because he will be in good hands with Childrens Hospital. We miss your company 3 West!
