Dear Classmate
I need your help! I recently joined
the Board of Children’s Hospice International (CHI). CHI
has been helping the families of children with life-
threatening conditions since 1983 (for an overview of
who we are and what we do, see the attached Executive
Summary). We are a registered 501 (c)(3)
tax-exempt organization that depends on donations from
individuals and companies. In order to continue
our mission of providing effective integrated palliative
care to over 1.3 million families, your financial
support is critical. In the best of times, keeping
our organization operating with the right level of
resources is a tough challenge. In this difficult
economy, it is even more daunting. Recently we
have seen our staff reduced from seven team members to
just two. With the current national focus on
health care, there is a very short window of opportunity
to get ChiPACC legislation passed so that every family
that needs palliative care has access to it. (EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY)
The immediate need is for $1 Million.
Please be as generous as you can in helping us to
continue our vital efforts on behalf of these families
who have nowhere else to turn. There are three ways that
you can donate:
-
Donate through the GIVE button on
our website:
WWW.CHIONLINE.ORG
-
Send a check to:
Children's Hospice International,
Inc.
1101 King Street, Suite 360
Alexandria, VA 22314 USA
-
Call CHI at 703.684.0330 or
800-2-4-CHILD (800-242-4453) and use your credit
card.
On behalf of over I million families,
thank you for your generous donation.
Beat Army!!
