Edwin's Christmas at the Hospital 2019
Donation protected
For the last two years, our great friend Edwin Morales raised money and collected toys for the kids at UCLA Santa Monica Pediatric Oncology. Unfortunately, due to his recent struggle with and passing from his own cancer, he was not able to organize this fundraiser this year.
Here is what Edwin wrote on his most recent fundraiser for Christmas at the Hospital:
"As most of my friends and family know, cancer is and always will be a big part of my life. During my stays in the hospital, I found inspiration in the most unlikely of places; with the children going through the same journey as I was. These kids were so brave when getting pricked with needles, or dealing with nausea - they were aware of why they were losing their hair or why the needed to spend the holidays in the hospital. They showed me what real strength looked like & I want to help them anyway I can with the help of my amazing support system.
While medications are vital to being cancer-free, so is maintaining a positive mindset. That is why making sure kids have toys, crafts, or movies available to them during their hospital stay is my focus right now. The effects of your donation are immediate. Every last dollar will be spent toward making sure kids stuck in the hospital can enjoy the holidays. They deserve to be rewarded for their courage & it would mean the world to me if you could help in any way."
Christmas is only a couple days away, and we would like to make a meaningful donation to these kids in Edwin's honor as soon as possible.
Even if you are unable to donate, please share this message in remembrance of our friend.
Thank You
