Support Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals when you get the myCUES app.
By Theresa Witham
If you haven’t yet downloaded the free myCUES app, you can do so now and trigger CUES to donate $1 to Credit Unions for Kids, which supports Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals treat 17 million children each year for all sorts of conditions, including asthma, broken bones, cancer or heart defects (and every other disease and condition imaginable). Since 1983, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals has raised more than $5 billion—most of it $1 at a time—for 170 children’s hospitals across the United States and Canada. These hospitals, in turn, use the money where it’s needed the most. Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals do incredible work:
- They treat 1 in 10 children in North America each year.
- They take in 62 children for treatment every minute.
- They create amazing stories about how they have served children and their health needs (better have a handkerchief handy if you click that link!).
CUES will donate up to $5,000, and hopes to reach that goal by Aug. 30. Please help by downloading the myCUES app today. (We hope you’ll use the app to access great credit union content, too!) Here are a few of the items you could help pay for:
- $5,000 – three pediatric wheelchairs
- $3,500 – five nerve stimulators
- $1,000 – one pulsoximeter
- $500 – one fetal heart monitor
- $100 – one guitar or keyboard
At just 18 months old, my son was hospitalized for several days with asthma. Living in Baltimore (and with excellent insurance), I had many options for good care (including a Children's Miracle Network Hospital). But for many parents, a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital may be their best—or only—option to get the life-saving care their child needs. Thank you for your support of these worthy organizations. Let’s see how far we can go! Theresa Witham is a CUES senior editor. The myCUES app is free and available for iPhone or iPad. Using it, you’ll find the CUES content you love (including CUES Skybox posts!) and you can personalize the app to show only the content that is most useful to you.
