Build brighter futures this Giving Tuesday: Make twice the impact today!
Every child deserves the chance to dream of a bright future, and by giving today your support makes that future full of possibilities. Donate by midnight on Tuesday, December 3, and your gift will go twice as far thanks to a generous $70,000 match!
The generous 2X matching gift offer is thanks to the Roth Auxiliary and the McMurtry Family Foundation.
At just 4 years old, Mikayla faced a life-changing diagnosis of restrictive cardiomyopathy, a rare heart condition that required her to undergo a heart transplant. Mikayla spent months in our hospital waiting for her new heart. Then the big day came, giving her a second chance at life.
Thanks to the hospital’s expertise and comprehensive support—from advanced medical care to emotional support through child life specialists—Mikayla is thriving, enjoying activities like riding her scooter and creating art. She continues to see the team for monitoring to ensure her new heart beats beautifully with minimal complications.
Mikayla’s entire family is grateful for the care they’ve received at Packard Children’s—and for donors like you who make extraordinary care and groundbreaking research possible.
