At Pediatric Dental Specialist, we believe that giving back is
essential to building healthy communities. This month we are supporting the
non-profit organization
From Maddi’s Closet! Every time you
check-in with us at our office, a donation is made to From Maddi's Closet. Benefiting children with cancer at Children's Hospital Los Angeles and beyond; bringing love, hope, and joy into their
lives and their families.
“From Maddi’s Closet is a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization that
supports families through special projects, providing funds for hospital staff
for children with special needs not being met by other assistance programs,
raising public awareness, and supporting pediatric cancer research.
From Maddi’s Closet was established
in December 2004; two months after the loss of Madison in October. Madison had battled bravely for eleven
months, living nine months longer than her initial prognosis. During these eleven months, she quietly
raised her family’s awareness of the “sick children” around her, pointing out
ones who had no one sitting by their bedside, or one who have been having an
especially hard day. Often she would
take a toy with her when she went in for treatment and give it to a child who
she felt needed something to play with.
Our projects are varied, ranging from
distributing new toys and hand-made blankets to each pediatric cancer patient,
sharing TLC gift bags with the tending moms, and sponsoring a Craft Play Day in
the cancer ward.
The funds raised by From Maddi’s
Closet are used to support the special monthly projects and response to special
needs through financial donations to the Pediatric Cancer Ward Emergency fund
at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles.
Our dream is that there will be a
“cure” that puts an end to children’s cancer.
We hold on to that dream and as we continue our journey, we work to
support the medical community seeking better treatments and greatly improved
mental and physical outcomes for these little patients.”
