Happy March!
Wishing you the Luck of the Irish! For some of our patients, their luck is like the country song,
"if it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all."
But thanks to you, we can make that luck better in many small and large ways. Your contributions, especially the consistent support of our Sustaining Angels, make things better for patients and families every day.
Who We Serve:
Amir,
a six-year-old patient was airlifted from Azusa with a fractured arm after being hit by a truck.
His family was homeless and needed to stay nearby for a couple of days. The social worker asked for a two day stay at a motel across the street from the hospital for his parents and his five-year-old sister. AIN was able to provide the motel vouchers, thanks to generous cash donations from our Mission Markets. Amir's mother and father were both greatly relieved to be able to stay close to their son during his hospital stay.
Two-year-old Martin
was newly diagnosed with leukemia.
At the request of his social worker, AIN provided Pampers for Martin and his one-year-old sister, warm clothing, and food certificates. AIN staff and volunteers delivered the goods to the family home since Martin's young parents do not have a car.
Seventeen-year-old
Ernie
was in a car accident and had to have his shoes cut off his feet at the ER.
Thank you to the
Women's Fellowship at Claremont
United Church of Christ for the generous donation of $500 in Target gift cards. This gift enabled us to purchase
FIVE brand new infant car seats that will allow babies to go home from the hospital!
Sincere Apologies for Our Error:
Last month we thanked teens of Pasadena Presbyterian church for the special Christmas gift baskets they make for other teens in need each year. Actually those basket makers are from
Trinity Presbyterian Church
in Pasadena.
Thanks, Trinity Teens,
for your faithful service to our community.

Men's and women's sweats, sizes large and extra-large, and new socks. Also Food 4 Less certificates
