At Koyamada International Foundation (KIF), we are excited to create an initiative to support patients at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles with gifts made directly to the Child Life Program as part of the ongoing efforts of our program, 1000 Ways to Give. Through 1000 Ways to Give, in the past 10 years we have provided international and local individuals and families with the resources they desperately need.

KIF and members of the study group agree that this cause is one we can do something about and are asking for your help to help the children of CHLA. KIF will collect monetary donations to purchase the requested items and will also accept in-kind donations of the actual technology.
