2x MATCH FOR GIVING TUESDAY!

Give on or before Giving Tuesday and your gift will be DOUBLED, making twice the impact for kids!*

Every parent’s greatest hope is that their child will be healthy and happy—but one in five kids lives with a chronic illness or complex medical condition that affects their ability to learn and grow.

Your #GivingTuesday gift can change their futures.

Children and families at Children's Specialized Hospital have big dreams and wishes. Some are hoping to be able to walk. Others might be seeking relief from chronic illness and pain. All are dreaming of reaching their full potential. And we are determined to deliver some holiday magic to them this year.

Your greatest gift IS their greatest hope.

The Martins' greatest hope for their son is that he will lead an independent life and reach his full potential. “We want him to grow and thrive and be an exceptional human,” said his parents.

Aydin was diagnosed with C.H.A.O.S (Congenital High Airway Obstruction Syndrome), laryngeal stenosis, VSD (Ventricular Septal Defect), and an inverted anus at birth. CSH gave his parents hope for his future.

Nelson and Genesis just want their daughter to live a happy life with the best quality of care possible. “Every child is unique,” said the parents. “Children’s Specialized doesn’t count her out because of what she won’t be able to do statistically. They never let the impossibilities of her disability stop her.”

When Nyla was only two days old, she was diagnosed with Lissencephaly, a rare brain disorder that affects only 1 in 100,000 babies.

“My greatest hope is that he will continue to get stronger and be able to walk more independently,” said Nikos’ mom. “The team at CSH has been so amazing. They’re willing to do anything they can to help these kids and the progress Nikos has made is just incredible.”

At her 20-week scan Nicole learned their baby had spina bifida, a neural tube defect where the spinal cord fails to develop or close properly. Nikos had surgery immediately after his birth.

“My greatest hope for Penelope is that she will have every opportunity everyone else has,” her mom shared. “She will be able to grow and live an easygoing life. I want her to be a carefree child who can run around and play and do everything the other kids do. I hope she has a healthy and long life."

Penelope developed several condtitions as a result of prematurity including necrotizing enterocolitis, a condition that affects the intestines and a grade 4 Intraventricular Brain Hemorrhage.

Children's Specialized Hospital is innovating every day to break barriers to care and meet the growing specialized healthcare needs of kids throughout New Jersey. The family-centered approach employed at each of our 15 treatment centers is made up of world-class medical care and social programs that help our families access the best care for their children. 

We believe that the only way to deliver comprehensive care is by really knowing a child, their family, their living situation, and any circumstances that could stand in the way of the success of their treatment plan. CSH employs Social Determinants of Health screenings for all of our families, offers multi-language technology, and has programs available to assist families in need with medical bills and transportation.
