I was an outpatient at Children’s Hospital from 1981- 1992. The outstanding care I received from Dr. Elaine Lieberman and staff not only saved my life, but also enabled me to a “normal” life/life span.
I am now an attorney and married mother of four children, who would not exist had it not been for the awesome medical care that Childrens Hospital provides.

I initially began donating blood to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles about 2 years ago.
A very close friend and his wife, Doug and Therese Spencer, had just had twins, Avery and Paige. Avery was born with heart problems as well as bleeding on her brain.
Doug’s brother, Josh Spencer, organized a blood drive at the hospital in honor of Avery … so friends and family came out to support. Once we arrived at the hospital, a flood of memories washed over me.

My first visit to the hospital was the most painful experience and I mean it in the sense being heartbroken by seeing so many children who need the care and every time I left it hurt even more knowing I could not do much for them.
I’m Catholic but never in my life I thought I would find myself praying more than ever for all those beautiful children in desperate need of good health and my nephew is one of them.

My daughter Antoinette Charmaigne Cerna was born with Spina Bifida. She transferred care from another hospital to the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Spina Bifida clinic. We were truly blessed the day we started going there.
When we found out about her condition, we were scared and unsure of what path my daughter was going to take. The staff there are amazing and make it comfortable enough for us parents to understand here condition, and not be afraid to question and ask questions.
