Thank you so much to El Camino Hospital and to Michael Fitzgerald who works tirelessly to improve our community by addressing our mental health needs. ASPIRE is an amazing program and its expansion to include more young people in need is a great gift.

Hello,


We are the chairs of the "Fulfilling the Promise" campaign at El Camino Hospital, to enrich mental health programs for our community, at our community hospital.

The ASPIRE program can be fully funded to expand and be enhanced even further than what we are doing now - made possible by the generous donations by people in our community. Please add your donation to our efforts. It will be deeply appreciated. This will make it possible for no child who is right for this program to be turned away because their insurance has run out or because they need this program and referring agencies beyond their coverage. It will expand and enhance our staffing and the ability to be flexible to our community needs and more effective for many more years to come.

El Camino Hospital is stepping forward to build new and better mental health programs when so many are stepping back or talking with little action. ECH staff and leadership are committed to these efforts, but we cannot do it all without donor help.

$2 million will fully fund ASPIRE, and we have now raised $1.64 million. Please make a donation of any size. Every dollar helps our kids and helps this program save lives.

Donations to the "Fulfilling the Promise" initiative can be made by mail to:
El Camino Hospital Foundation
2400 Grand Road #116
Mountain View, CA 94040

or through this link:

For more information or a presentation about ASPIRE to your organization or company, please call Lindsay Ehrman at 650-988-7849

Thank you for caring!
