Five-month-old baby, Mason, from the Bronx, recently celebrated his first Christmas with a virtual visit from Santa at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore (CHAM).

 

Mason also received some holiday gifts thanks to the 2021 Holidays from the Heart campaign.

 

The Holidays From the Heart Program supports the most vulnerable and financially challenged patients at CHAM. “During this holiday season, as we move through the COVID-19 pandemic and flu season, we sadly must restrict all visitors to CHAM,” Montefiore officials wrote on the Holidays from the Heart campaign page. “Through donations to the Holidays From the Heart campaign, we seek to create hope for families by providing every child and their families with developmentally appropriate gifts during the holiday season.”

 

This year, The Children’s Hospital at Montefiore is celebrating 20 years. For more information on how to partner with CHAM to advance the hospital’s dedication to health and humanity, and its Future Perfect vision, residents can get in touch at development@montefiore.org. Montefiore officials say any emails will be answered as soon as possible.

 

Meanwhile, the 2021 Holidays from the Heart campaign closes Dec. 31, 2021. Anyone wishing to make a donation can do so here.
