During the entire month of May, Costco warehouses in the greater area host a special day for past patients in celebration of their medical journey and to help raise awareness and funds for UC Davis Children’s Hospital.
At just 1 year old, Emily was diagnosed with leukemia after her parents noticed she had stopped walking and was increasingly tired and irritable. She was rushed to UC Davis Children’s Hospital, where doctors immediately began lifesaving treatment to prevent organ failure. Over the next couple of years, Emily endured countless hospital stays, surgeries, infections, septic shock, chemotherapy treatments, and complications related to her leukemia care. Through every challenge, CMN funded programs like our facility dog program, music, and art therapy helped Emily and her family keep their spirits up and helped them move forward. Emily had her last treatment in 2014! Today, Emily is a 16-year-old, 10th grader who loves baseball, singing, and reading! This is why we do what we do, so little kids have the chance to grow up!
Your donations are helping real people, people in your community! Thank you for your support.
