Dear Friends and Family,
I have decided to raise money for the Mount Sinai's Kravis Children's Hospital's Child Life and Creative Arts Therapy Department. I have been a patient at Mount Sinai for the past 5 years and had to spend some time at the Kravis Children's Hospital last Fall. For days I could not leave my bed and hospital room but a few times a day a volunteer from the Child Life department would stop by and bring me arts supplies or games to entertain myself with. When I felt better I was able to visit the Child Life center where I could play video games, strike up a game of pool or pet the resident therapy dog. The Child Life department kept me entertained and enticed me to get out of bed when I did not always want to and helped me recover faster both physically and emotionally. The Mount Sinai Health System relies on community support to help make possible their essential work of outstanding clinical care, innovative research initiatives and more.
In lieu of presents I hope you will consider donating to my fundraising efforts. Thank you in advance for your support of my fundraiser.
Alexander
