Support Blank Children's Hospital: Year End 2023

Dear friend,

As we enter the holiday season, Blank Children’s Hospital is full of patients who need your help. Thankfully, you can be a part of every patient’s story.

You can be there…

• When a panicked parent and her 3-year-old daughter are rushed by ambulance.

• When a first-time mom delivers twin boys at 32 weeks.

• When a cancer patient needs an extra smile while going through treatment.

Every day, Blank Children's emergency department and clinics are filled with patients in need of medical attention. Caring for children in Iowa has never been more important.

Your support is needed now more than ever.

When you make a gift, you extend a helping hand to the teams at Blank Children’s Hospital who go above and beyond to help patients feel supported and loved inside a place that can feel scary and lonely.

Your support also creates special memories for patients. Patients like Lydia.

If you have ever wondered what it’s like to be a child who has received a lifetime of treatment at Blank Children’s before their 16th birthday, her story will give you a glimpse and I hope you take a moment to read her letter right now by clicking here.

Lydia has responded to adversity with courage, perseverance and a positive spirit. Her story shows how you can provide hope and healing to patients and families in some of the toughest moments of their life.

Please take a moment and send a special year-end gift now. I know there are many organizations you can support this holiday season. But please know how much your gift means to patients down every hall.
