Child Life Child Development Program - Mattel Children's Hospital at UCLA

How you can help

In order for the Child Life/Child Development to fulfill its potential and sustain its nationally recognized status, private support is required to meet ongoing funding challenges and to ensure that the current pace of progress continues.

Donations to the program will ensure that young patients continue to receive the best services available. Also, gifts to the Child Life Endowment Fund will provide income so that services are guaranteed.
